washed up

Something that has once had it's peak of greatness far too long ago, and is now still being over used, over played, and is still spoon fed through the media, even though it's gotten extremely old, bland, worn out, and is just sad to still see around.

When is Korn going to quit churning out new albums? Korn, and the entire nu-metal genre is washed up, when will they ever just let them die?!?

jack-ups

Derogative term for trousers worn too short (approx 1-3 inches above the shoe), often with white socks underneath making the jack-up more obvious.

My best trousers had shrunk, resulting in fairly serious jack-ups

smarten up

pay attention to what you're doing

See watch your back.

While walking down the street you go to turn down a blind alley. At the corner someone notices you.

"Hey smarten up!."

You look down the alley realizing what you were about to do and proceed down the street instead.

throw ups

Throw ups are a type of tag, which in turn is a form of ad-hoc, quick graffiti.

Throw ups are often only one or two colors, and are a very unembellished symbol, letter, abbreviation, or short word.

Taggers (people who tag) often throw up a tag like this everywhere they go.

Damn, for a throw up, that shit is sweet.
