come-upped

The proper past tense of the word "come up". This is more proper than "comed up" and head and shoulders better than "came up", which only sissies say. Its identical twin opposite is "come downed".

Some spelt without the hypen, though the hypen always exists when verbally spoken.
Recently, the topic come-upped that the earth's magnetic field could be subject to an anomaly, as a result of the aligning of the planets, something that occurs every 26,000 years.

Come up trumps

Dig someone out of a hole, or do something that turns the tide and turns the situation into a success, particularly at the last minute and when unexpected, with all hope lost.
Same as come through for someone in the clutch, only an older phrase, and more precise, better conveying the sense of "in the nick of time", and "unexpected".

Look at it like this- played out action movie scenario: there are three guys fighting. 2 vs 1. One of them gets knocked out cold, and then the guy that knocked him out pulls out a gun and is about to finish off the other guy. Just when he is about to pull the trigger and send him to kingdom come, he gets hit in the head/ shot in the back etc by someone, and we see that someone is the guy who was out cold.

He came up trumps.
My old junker broke down and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, but this guy came up trumps and gave me a ride.
