GUEST,Gerry Folklore: translations from the Australian part 2 (54* d) RE: Folklore: translations from the Australian part 2 04 Feb 20

Guest DHB, thanks. In Australia, I've mainly heard it in the context of "Please be upstanding for the National Anthem."

I thought "Please give it up for..." meaning "Please applaud" was also Australian, but the internet tells me it's American in origin. But it became popular in the States after I left, so I never heard it until I came to Australia.
