To wake up in a cold sweat is to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night due to the remembering of an anxious moment in your life.
Man last night night I woke up in a cold sweat remembering how those gangsters last summer almost decided to off me!

Get the Round up to two weeks mug.9 up is a slang used in Hong Kong. The way to write this slang is Chinese character is "鳩/𨳊/㞗噏" (Use "鳩" instead of "𨳊" or "㞗" because more people understand that, but using English characters "9 up" is still easiest to understand).
The meaning of the slang: to talk bullshit
Explanation: 鳩/𨳊/㞗's literal meaning is "cock" or "dick", but in different context it means different things. In this slang, it means "stupid" or "idiotic". This word in Cantonese (the language/Chinese dialect used in Hong Kong) sounds like 九 in Cantonese, and 九 means 9. This is why the first part of the slang is 9 which means "stupid" or "idiotic". For the second part of the slang, which is "噏", means to state something. The word "噏" is usually used with the context of people stating things that are not 100% true or without real proof. This word in Cantonese sounds like "up" in English, which is why the second part of the slang "up" means to state something not 100% true and without real proof. Combined together, it's to stupidly say something without real proof, aka talking bullshit.
