Come **up** with your hands **out**

What a less-than-honorable person WOULD like to hear --- i.e., "Approach me and I'll give you money, food, or something else desirable" --- rather than the stern "show yourself peaceably" command uttered by a firearm-wielding lawman.

Delinquent teen in the overnight lock-up: So... what got YOU in trouble?
Second delinquent teen: Oh, I was out raisin' Hell the other night, and Johnny Law showed up, so I ducked into a dark alley and hid behind a dumpster. I didn't hear the cop properly when he called to me --- I thought he'd said, "Come **up** with your hands **out**," so I stupidly dashed right out and ran up to him with my eager hands held out, thinking he was gonna give me a hamburger or pass me a few bucks... instead, he merely slapped da cuffs on me!

Hand me up

Where the young generation in a family adopts and purchases new technology product at a fast rate, and old versions (that are in working order but are not up to current standards) of that technology product are given to the parents or older generations of family.

Commonly occurs multiple times on commodity technology gadgets, leaving your parents with many gadgets to play with.

Called 'hand me up' in contrast to 'hand me down'.

Computers: having purchased a new computer to replace my 'slow' computer, I have given it to my grandpa to use. Thus the computer is a 'hand me up'.
