higher

To ask somone to think again. From the British Television game show Play Your Cards Right where contestants had to guess if the next card turned up was higher or lower than the previous card. A slow contestant with a 2 of Clubs might say "lower?" and the audience would scream "HIGHER!!".

Friend: Want to go to Mulligan's for a pint?
No. 1: Higher.
Friend: Why? They love us in Mulligan's.
No. 1: Higher, I got thrown out last night.
