[QUOTE="TimeFlipper, post: 106386, member: 6456"] Up Yours... This was originally used by Radio Amateurs back in the 1930s to ask the person they were transmitting to, to put more power into his transmitter as his signal was very weak..(this was in the day when only morse code was used for transmission, and even today modern speed typing uses lots of Radio Amateur abbreviated words).. Obviously there are more usages of this expression today as an insult to another person, but when the British people first starting using it, it became a normal insult to mean....Up Yours, you are an idiot!
