AnswerMug's Challenge Series, What's Up Edition: how many two-word verb phrases can we collectively list wherein one of the two words is


'up' and the other one is an English verb?

RULES:
1.  Either word (up/the verb) may be used first. 

2. The word 'up' cannot be modified in any way; it must remain as is, a two-letter word. (Therefore, upping, upper, upped, ups, etc. cannot be used.)

3. Any tense or conjugation of the verb may be used. 

4.  Please keep it clean. 

5. Have fun!

    When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

    Since all the ones that end in up are already listed, I thought I'd go the other way.

    Up sell 

    It's all I've got.

    I have a few 'up' starters: "Up front". "up set", "up siedaisy" (Jane is right, there are not nearly as many starting with "up" )

    I'm not sure if those follow the rule of one word being a verb. That's why I didn't include 'up yours'.
