wake up (make a move)

Wake Up (Make a Move) is the third single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band lostprophets. This single was under much debate up to it coming out, both lostprophets and their N Prime management wanted the dark, brooding "Make A Move" as a single whereas the label wanted the poppier, catchier "I Don't Know". The band and their management walked away victorious from this battle of wills and the song was released as a single with the modified title "Wake Up (Make A Move)". However, "I Don't Know" was later released for radio airplay in the USA.

I can't make this up

To emphasize that one is telling the truth. Usually added to the end of a drawn out /dramatic situation that occured.

Keisha got her ass beat for sleeping with her friends dad last week. I can't make this up.

make something up

"Make something up" is a command given to someone when you want them to make an excuse so others won't be asking any more questions.

"He can't make something like that up!" is said when you know someone is speaking the truth because the information or reasons given given by this person are too complex or indepth to be dismissed as a lie; therefore, it is assumed to be true.

"You can't just make that up!" would mean that the person you are speaking to should not be foolish enough to think he or she can lie about (a specific) something and then expect to get away with it; it won't be credible. Or perhaps it would be credible, but it would be considered unfair. Whether or not it is credible would depend on the situation.

For example: Ed manipulates Sally into skipping one of her classes. Sally worries and tells Ed that her teacher will ask where he was during class. Ed responds by saying: "Make something up", meaning she should just lie to her teacher by saying she had something important to do (when really she didn't).

Second example: A six year old tells her mother that she saw her father kissing with a red haired woman in the car when she took a peak through her bedroom window. When her mother confronts her husband and he denies this, the girls mother could say: "Well, she can't make something like that up!", meaning the daughters information is so specific and also considering her age, it can hardly be dismissed as a lie.

Third example: A boss want to fire his secretary for not doing her job right. The secretary says that if he does so, she will tell the entire office that they slept together. Her boss could say: "You can't make that up", meaning it is unfair to him because it never happened.

Make it up to

Idiom.
To "make it up to someone" means to do something nice for them after you've messed up, like buying them a drink after you forgot their birthday or bailing them out of jail after a wild night. It's all about trying to smooth things over when you've been a total jerk.

Example: "I totally flaked on our plans, so I’m gonna make it up to her by taking her out for a night of debauchery and enough booze to forget I’m an idiot."
