The term "Up and Adam" is a misused phrase of the proper term "Up and at-um".
The phrase "up and Adam" is often used who are not familiar with the origin of the terminology. The correct term (up and at-um) seems to have originated from the great war (WWI) of 1914, when the troops came up out of the trenches to advance on the enemy. The cry "Up and at 'em boys" would have given the troops encouragement. Likewise, the phrase "up and Atom" is also incorrect use of the term.

"Up and at-um" boys, was a battle cry to have men advance out of the trenches during WWI. Not "up and Adam" nor "Up and Atom".

Adam Carson is an amazing, beautiful man.
He also has a cute ass, but don't let that distract you from his drumming skills and his gorgeous eyes.
Adam overall, kicks major ass.
