Put 'em up phrase spoken
The phrase is usually said by an armed man during a robbery or arrest.
The verb "stick" can be substituted for the verb "put".
"Em" is a slang abbreviation for "them".
Used to order someone to raise his/hands above their shoulders.
Put 'em up! Don't anybody move, or I'll shoot.
"Put 'em up!" shouted the gunman.
When a robber said "Put 'em up", you should raise both hands in the air.
Do you see anything wrong?
A humorous way of saying that what one has said is just what they acknowledge and may not be entirely accurate
Mike: Have you returned from your vacation on the beach? Your skin seems to get tanned.
Jenny: My skin is always dark. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
