To take up a firearm against a political candidate or position you disagree with. Coined by the media in response to perceived violent rhetoric in the 2010 election campaigns. A variant on Senate candidate Sharron Angle's assertion during a debate that her opponent, incumbent senator Harry Reid, needed to "man up."
"Sure, the Republican­s use homophobia to "gun up" thier base but it's not working very well any more, the noticeable exception being old people." - David Brock, CEO of Media Matters of America, on Hardball with Chris Matthews, January 12, 2011

Top Gun Thumbs Up

A Top gun Thumbs up is similar to a regular thumbs up, only its held for much longer and you turn your hand to the side so the person youre giving the thumbs up to, can see the back of your hand.
its called a "Top Gun Thumbs Up" because during the entire film, that is all Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer ever did, never giving proper thumbs up to each other and at times, it seems as though their right hands are permenantly STUCK in that position.
not really possible to do an example of a Top Gun Thumbs Up... just watch Top Gun!

To gun it up is to proper hard task or to complete a job with efficiency of gunning extra power. Or to bodge like a dog with the sillicon gun. Also death by gun it up due to hermetically sealing humans into a non british standard room.
Don't worry Billy Cob face, Bunce'll be here in a minute, and you know he loves to Gun it up

Gun Mettle Update 

A well balanced combination of the Valve FPS game: Counter Strike: Global Offensive's weapon case system and skins system, and the weapons of the Valve FPS game: Team Foretess 2. This update to the game has been thought to try to help Team Fortress's trading appeal to some Counter Strike: Global Offensive traders. Adding 3 new maps and finishing a promised one (the snowplow was a lie!) Snowplow, Borneo, Powerhouse, and Suijun this gave Team Fortress 2 players a little something to chew on.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
