When
something is totally awesome, fun, or cool it is said to be "up the butt". It is used in place of other colloquialisms such as "
off the hook" and "out of control". Whenever possible, this expression should always be accompanied by making a "two thumbs-up" gesture.
This expression traces its origins to a misspoken German travelling in the US. It is
common to the Big Island of Hawaii.
After a
skydiver lands his
friend run out to greet him and asks,
"How was the
jump?"
The skydiver smiles, gives two thumbs up and replies "Up the butt!!"
