v. To act in accordance with established masculine roles in a given situation, implying courage and responsibility. Usually used in the imperative, the term is a favorite of police who want suspects to incriminate themselves. Ironically, advice to 'man-up' is usually followed by a promise that it is the least painful alternative.
You signed for a package full of weed, now you need to man-up, and admit that you knew what was in it. It'll go easier for you with the judge.

Get the man-up mug.A saying proudly exclaimed by fans of the New Zealand Warriors, one of the teams that competes in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition played in Australia and New Zealand.
The basic meaning is "Go the Warriors!", with "Wahs" being short for "Warriors".
The saying is taken from the term "up the wazoo" which usually describes an excessive amount of something (literally, "up the arse"). But obviously the meaning has been modified to fit the Warriors.
