coming up 

Slang for a plan to steal as much money as possible from somebody to avoid being on the street straight out of prison.
I’ll be coming up good and fast as soon as I get out, it’s sheer genius and it’s all mapped out to perfection.

coming up Milhouse

1. When things go in your favor, albeit in a nerdy way.
A reference to a Simpsons episode in which Milhouse first complains about wearing his "dorky highwater shorts" but feels better when the floodwater "soaks his ankles" but leaves his cuffs "bone dry," at which point he exclaims "Alright, everythings coming up Milhouse."

Example: I was picked as the "Best Edward from Twilight Look-alike" at the Springfield Bi-Mon Sci-Fi Con. Looks like everything is coming up Milhouse.

Coming Up Miller 

When good things or string of good events happen to you.

This phrase comes from a dude named Miller, no matter what, he always seems to have good luck.
Dude, I just got pulled over for speeding, and the cop let me go with a warning, every thing is coming up Miller!

Guy 1. This morning I found $100 on the side walk, then when I got to work, I got promoted!!! Can you believe that?!

Guy 2. At least it's coming up Miller for one of us....
