1. An extra life(or extra man) that you need in order to progress through a video game. In fact, you'll need enough of these to make considerable progress. Especially if you suck at the game.
1-ups are usually risky and difficult to obtain as items.
2. Also can be another term for sexual intercourse. Shortened form of "
1 dick up (one'
s) pussy or
ass."
Damn, Mark sure has a such a quick reaction time and alot of luck to beat Mario Bros on his first time playing it. He beat the whole game singlehandedly without relying on any
1-ups he earned!
Mario surely must be happily spending all those
1-ups on Princess Toadstool in bed at this time!
OR
Damn, Mark really sucks at Mario Bros! He can'
t even get past the first level no matter how many attempts and always uses up his
1-ups!
Mario must surely be getting all his
1-ups back indabutt from Bowser in his dungeon at this time!
