Refers to the playful "pretend assistive" action of raising someone's ankles up off the bed/couch in an apparent effort to aid him in standing back up ("Okay, your feet are up so far; you can lift more of yourself up now!"), but in reality you are effectively **preventing** him from standing up, since he would need to have his legs **lower** than his head and torso in order to be able to sit up and get to his feet. :P
Employing da "helpful" legs-lift is a good way of sarcastically conveying to a huge-a** lazy-bones who has groaningly asked for your assistance in rising dat he is obviously much too big/bulky/heavy for a much-smaller/lighter/weaker person like you to actually lift to his feet, and dat he will therefore need to just clamber back up under his OWN steam.

Get the "helpful" legs-liftmug. Hym "Because I already said I'm not calling in. So, 'call in and we'll help you' means you aren't going to do it. Not calling in isn't a barrier to you. So, no. I'm not ever going to do that. You should have done what I told you 3 years ago or 10 years ago and though kids in Texas would not be dead and Suchir Balaji would not be dead. YOU... DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO. I'm not doing it. There are a lot of things I WILL do but no. I'm not calling anyone. I'm not doing anything beyond this. You can just listen to the words I say and then do those words and not the other way around. I already told you I wouldn't and I already explained why."

A: Hey, I remember you talked about that problem with your boyfriend, so I went ahead and asked him about it. He was kinda stand-offish, but I managed to get your point across.
B: You did WHAT? OK, look, I appreciate how much energy you put into that, but you're really potato-helping right now. This is going to make talking to him harder.
A: Oh, I didn't realize. I'm sorry.
