One Up Johnny

Johnny is one of a select group of people who think they contain a vast well of knowledge on all subjects. Like Cliff Clavin the character on the old TV show Cheers, he pretends to know intimate details about everything—from the best region for the manufacture of shoe polish to the calibration of gene splicing equipment. Johnny works as an hourly employee in a large corporation and has no specific higher education or degree.
Greg: "I have a stomach ache."

One up Johnny: "That pain in your abdomen could be from a variety of internal organs. These organs include the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. It could be a serious condition. You should consider being evaluated by a physician"

Greg: "Yeah, or it could be from that donut I ate earlier."

Mike: "Have I ever told you I have a motorcycle?"

One Up, One Down

A military slang term that describes when two personnel are posted at a lookout or guard situation. One unit stays alert and awake watching for movement/activity (one up) while the other takes a nap or rests (one down). They alternate so as to be able to extend their alertness for a longer time. It is an unwritten rule that you must wake the resting person if you start to become tired yourself as the "One Up".
"We had 12 hours stuck on that LP/OP behind enemy lines so Smith and I decided to go One Up, One Down. I took Up first."

One Up, One Down

A game, the object of the game is to figure out how to play.

you have 3 choices: 2 up, 1 up 1 down, or 2 down. what you are is dependent on your hands/arms for instance if you have both your hands in the air then you are 2 up

the point of the game once you figure out how to play it is to play with other people and change what you are as nonchalantly as possible
John: Want to play One Up, One Down?
Bob: Wtf is that?
John: c'mon just play
