F U.. or Friend Up means to step up as a friend and do something a friend requests; or to hangout. It can also mean to become friends with someone. Like the term 'man up', it's almost the same, but.. friend up means 'be a friend'. Friend Up is changing the way people see the abbreviation F U.
Example 1:
Person 1: Dude come inside the beer store with me
Person 2: I can't bro I'm way too high to handle seeing people right now
Person 1: Come on man... Friend Up
Example 2:
Person 1: Hey do you want to Friend Up?
Person2: Ya lets do it

A friend-up is where you have a friend. And they are clingy and you don't really want to be friends with them. But if you 'reject' them,they take it to heart,cry and spread rumors. So you have to handle them with care.
Girl 1; Uggh. This girl is annoying. She calls me every second of the day...I don't want to be friends with her..But I don't know how to tell her..

Girl 2; OMG. I know. That's annoying. Just 'Friend-Up' with her.
