Mexican Uppercut

A.K.A. Mexican DP, Mexican Dragon Punch

Slang in OG FGC (fighting game community) that gained popularity during the Street Fighter 2 scene when a player that does not know how or want to do proper Dragon Punch (aka. DP, Shoryuken) special move and just does a basic crouching uppercut move instead.

In Street Fighter for shoto characters like Ryu, Ken, Akuma/Gouki, the move is done with Down+HP (aka. Down+Fierce, 2H, 2HP, 2Fierce) and you see the character crouching and doing an uppercut.

Very well known phrase that is still spoken about in the FGC. Still talked about by pros and veterans, such as Alex "CaliPower" Valle of Southern California.
Why DP when you can just do a Mexican Uppercut.

Give yourself an uppercut

When you say or do something quite ridiculous a friend should always be on hand to remind you of your mistake. Usually best said when someone has said something ill timed or embarrassing.
a) So mate, what's doing with your sister? Can I root her?

b) Deadset, give yourself an uppercut
