Lever up 

Financing a firm’s acquisition with a significant amount of debt. A firm typically issues term loans and junk bonds to drive IRRs for their private equity overlords (due to tax-deductibility of interest).

Outside of its native LBO context, to ‘lever up’ refers to the act of getting rekt and fully sending it.

Ex.1: “Blackstone is about to lever up that company’s balance sheet to 6.9x LTM Adj EBITDA. They’re underwriting to a 42.0% net IRR”

Ex.2: “Yo Tucker was levered up last night and stage dived from the DJ booth right into some chick’s VIP table. He then called the bouncer a back-office jabroni as he was dragged out”
