wintermom Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 12 hours ago, historically accurate said: Why does it say "put the food up?" Does this mean put the left-overs away in the fridge? Never heard this expression before, but google says it's "a curious expression. Originating back in the 1700s."

Northern expression is "put the food away." Presumably in the past, "up" (such as on the one and only shelf, or up in the loft) was the only place there was to put things away, so they were synonymous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not put UP. It’s put AWAY! Unless it’s idk. Meat or herbs being put up to age/dry. fridge is away Cabinets or storage is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that called putting food up also, or putting food by. My neighbors have their kids put their toys up every day.

That's also how I think of it. "Putting food up" means taking fresh food and preserving it for long-term use, could be canning, pickling, in the old days smoking or salting meat/fish, or in more modern times mass freezing. Putting leftovers in the fridge is just putting food away, in my parlance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is more funny to me than this meme. 🤣 I occasionally say "put the food up" but usually "put the food away". Yes, put the leftovers in the fridge is the meaning. Obviously, I am from the 1700s! That is funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 4 hours ago, Katy said: Yes. It’s a normal phrase to me. I don't live in the south but I have heard people say both "up" and "away" when talking about putting stuff in the fridge, cupboard, closet, whatever. I don't think of it as a regional expression, just an expression some people use and some don't. I didn't grow up saying it and don't use it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I could also replace the word "book"with "plant" and the meme would be accurate! 😉 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound odd to me too. He also asks about alterations to 'take the pants waist up' when I would would say 'in'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Putting something up is very familiar to me as a synonym for putting it away. I had no idea that was a regional thing! I've lived in the southeastern US my whole life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
