pull your socks up

A term used to tell someone to get down because bullets are going to be fired in their general direction in the immediate future. The general idea behind wording the phrase this way is to let your friend know what is about to happen whilest leaving your helpless, soon to be, victims in the dark.

literally referring to what Abraham Lincoln (read a few law books he found in a junk barrel, then became a lawyer and later President of The United States and Booker T Washington (learned to read and write as a black apprentice sailor) actually did, this term means:

to legally work, or rather legally to nigger, one's way up the social ladder of one's society in one's zeitgeist using nothing but one's own blood, sweat, toil, common sense, education and street-smarts
son: I don't understand how Abraham Lincoln legally achieved what he did. He was born on a bloody farm.

father: Jordan, just stop blabbering and learn the meaning of the phrase to pull yourself up by your boot straps and you'll do just as well. Now good night.

crossfit pull-ups

a meritless and fraudulent set(s)/repetitions of pronated pull-ups performed by exploiting the momentum gained through kipping cloaked as thoracic convulsions executed in an elliptical path on a standard, fixed, elevated, horizontal pull-up bar; it is often erroneously promoted by CrossFitters as a "functional movement."
Those CrossFit clowns love to claim that their CrossFit pull-ups are better for strength as a (purportedly) "functional" exercise when, in fact, it doesn't even measure true upper body strength since it relies on momentum - unlike a true or traditional pronated pull-up which is, when executed properly, a superior closed kinetic chain compound movement and a more appropriate indicator of upper body strength since the primary muscles involved (i.e., latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and biceps brachii) are forced to work (concentrically and eccentrically) WITHOUT utilizing momentum.
