Hoist That Rag

1. The second song on Tom Waits' 2004 album, Real Gone.

2. A sentiment based on the lyrics and tone of that song. To tell some one to 'Hoist That Rag' is to tell them that life is shit, but to stick it out.

God used me as hammer, boys
To beat his weary drum today

Hoist That Rag

A phrase used in Kevin Baker's book "Paradise Alley' by rowdy theater goers. When they tired of waiting for the show to begin they began to chant 'Hoist that rag'.

A football coach to his team just before they leave the locker room:"It's time boys! Let's hoist that rag and get this thing started!"

hoist it up

when you have a giant hipster friend named Abraham who often gets "pwned" on the intranets

The only way to be worse at FIFA 2014 is if you hoist it up.
