Kick it up a Notch

To make things more intense, exciting, or interesting.

(Phrase first used by Emril Lagasse while cooking.)

Now refers to a song in the Team Starkid Production Starship.

Emril: Let's kick it up a notch! *adds a bunch of spices*

Pincher: "So here’s the choice, Bug! You can go on leading your meaningless existence Or you can take everything you’ve ever wanted...Well, Bug? Whaddya say?"

Bug: "I....I... I think I’ll kick it up a notch!
I don’t care about the Queen or the hive!"

Pincher: "That’s the spirit! Kick em all straight in the crotch!"

kicking up

Mafia term for "paying tribute" to the Mafia Don or Chosen One. These are mandatory voluntary payments to assure the underling or minion knows their duty is to tithe and pay homage in the form of riches to the Chosen One. A model easily adapted to business and politics. Kicking up is much more lucrative than a kickback since it clearly instructs not only one's minions but everyone what the rules for doing business are.

Pence and Barr realized even the role of enforcers were not enough, to curry favor with their political boss since this would add little to his wealth. They would have to start kicking up to advertise the fact that they also had to humiliate themselves by going out of their way to frequent his businesses.
