Man Up - video
Man Up - what is it?
Step one: Check if your balls are still attached.
Step two: They are? Good.
Step three: Check again. Odds are you're drunk.
Step four: Still there? Awesome. Then just Do It.
"I dunno, that guy's pretty huge, I think he might even have a hundred pounds on me. Are you sure I can take him?"
"Of course, man. Now, what the hell are you waiting for? Man up, and take that fat bastard Bubba down!"
What does "Man Up" mean?
It means act like a man, but in a non-sexist way. It is not meant to be chauvinistic or disparage other groups. Similar phrases would be "be a man," "be a mensch," "be a stand-up guy" or "wake up and accept responsibility for your actions."
Judge Marilyn Milian on THE PEOPLE'S COURT occasionally uses the term "man up" in the way described above, somewhat like an earlier TV instruction of hers to "butch up your act" but not so gay-identified. She has been provoked to the "man up" remark when confronted with such clueless men as the biological father who claimed he 'wanted to be a daddy' when he in fact had not visited his son nor contributed to his support, and the man who consistently maintained he had put only a scratch on plaintiff's car when in fact all the witnesses confirmed and all the photographic evidence showed that he had done considerable damage. It would be absurd for Judge Milian to order a woman to "man up" but she has other, analogous remarks, to make to similarly witless or hypocritical women.
Man Up - what does it mean?
After a long night of high octane™ drinking.... the procces of hanging over occurs. To deposit these prodiougous feelings a beer or some other alcholic beverage is in order, to insure the release of the harmful intoxicating feeling.
After Timmy was drinking with high octane™ all night, he arose out of bed with a raging headache. To release the pain from his body he had a man up session and felt much better.
Man Up - meaning
An uplifting imperative, derived from the saying "be a man about about it" - to grow a pair, to stop being childish, to stop complaining etc.
This saying can be used in many situations.
1) 'C'mon Gareth, man up! There's no time for tears in this day and age.'
2) After some hurtful comments from a female colleague, Gareth turned to Jimmy for advice. Jimmy said "Grow a pair and man up!"
3) 'Gareth is acting so childish - he needs to man up'
Man Up - definition
1. To acknowledge and to take responsibility for your own actions.
2. Don't blame others for your own mistakes, problems, or issues when you know it is your fault and not anyone elses. If it is someone elses fault that you are in a situation or predicament then do the best you can to deal with it.
3. Some people say it means not to cry; that is incorrect. We all have feelings; to deny them is to lie to yourself and others, "MAN UP" and deal with it. If you don't you only cause yourself physical, mental, psychological, emotional, and spiritual damage; and you also affect those around you in a negative way as you take it out on them, instead of dealing with it properly. EX: Jesus was a Man among men; he didn't "cry" He "wept tears of blood." He went to the cross, He manned up for things that were not His own.
Even if you are not a Christian/Believer you can surely admit that Jesus was not a wimp, coward, or a liar - He said it, and did it.
1. He did the right thing, he went back and (man up) told his boss the truth and accepted the consequences instead of letting his co-worker take the fall for it.
2. She accepted (man up)responsibility for the accident and told her Mom that she is the one who broke the antique.
3. I felt so sorry for the sobbing man. His immediate family died in a tragic head-on car accident because someone else was drinking and driving. Overall he is dealing with it the best that he can - he is letting it all out (man up), mourning as he should. He sure does have the right to do so.
