A military slang term that describes when two personnel are posted at a lookout or guard situation. One unit stays alert and awake watching for movement/activity (one up) while the other takes a nap or rests (one down). They alternate so as to be able to extend their alertness for a longer time. It is an unwritten rule that you must wake the resting person if you start to become tired yourself as the "One Up".
"We had 12 hours stuck on that LP/OP behind enemy lines so Smith and I decided to go One Up, One Down. I took Up first."

A game, the object of the game is to figure out how to play.
you have 3 choices: 2 up, 1 up 1 down, or 2 down. what you are is dependent on your hands/arms for instance if you have both your hands in the air then you are 2 up
the point of the game once you figure out how to play it is to play with other people and change what you are as nonchalantly as possible

a new word for so-so
when you want to be cool and are asked the question of how you are doing, you can answer one up-one down, instead of the ubiquitous so-so
