Words you can keep
A derivative of Heads up, this term was widely used(shouted) in the lot before and after Phish shows in order to alarm surrounding bystandards that law enforcement was in the vicinity and to conceal any contraband immediately. It was often used on shakedownwhen an undercover officer was discovered, or a regular officer was on the prowl and somewhat hidden by the general crowd. It was also seen on a popular fan made t-shirt which used a parody of the 7Up logo and read "6 Up, The Uncoola".
Head #1: "6 Up!"
Head #2: "Shit, stash those goo-balls and caps!"

6-Up or “Six-up” is a slang term coined by rapper XO BLACKSTAR, used to describe the sinful nature of one’s own actions, beliefs or morals. Claiming to be “6-Up” probably means this person is an evildoer or devil worshipper.

6 up gitty up 

A codeword, used by Rainbows and Lot Kids of the music festival/hippie scene, to heed warning of mounted police officers (police officers on horseback) in the area.

Police often ride horseback in larger hippie-gatherings such as Rothbury Music Festival and most Rainbow Gatherings, so as to parole large spans of land in a reasonable amount of time.

The term "g up gitty up" is designed to help unsuspecting hippies who are holding drugs, without incriminating yourself.
Dreaddy: "6 up gitty up!!!"

Spreadhead: "Oh shit! 6 up gitty upppp!!!"

Lot Kid: "Shit, I gotta hide these fucking doses"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
