Someone who stands, tree like, rooted to the spot in a venue or club or pub with great music.
My Malay mate Jorden who seemed to enjoy the music but stood blinking like a walrus the entire night disappeared to falafel heaven and reappeared to tree out once more.
Famously, one of Biff Tannen's taglines in Back to the Future movies. The other ones being "Shiiiit!" and "I hate manure!"
Young Biff: All right, I'll give it a look. Now why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?
Old Biff (hitting Young Biff upside his head): It's LEAVE, you idiot! "Make like a tree and leave!" You sound like a damn fool when you're saying it wrong!
