two's up

Two's up is a very old Yorkshire expression meaning, "Save me a small amount of what you're currently consuming" It was originally used by miners who were hungry and wanted a piece of pie from one of their more fortunate colleagues. It became more popular in the 70's and meant "share your cigarette with me".

I've left my fags at home, two's up on your rolly (hand rolled cigarette)"
