Dumbass Sayings: “Knuckle Up”

Sometimes when you accidentally bump into a woman while riding your scooter to work she says “Alright, bitch! You wanna do this? Knuckle up! Let’s do this! KNUCKLE UP!” This is apparently the new, hip way to say “Put your dukes up!” That didn’t make sense to say back then and “knuckle up” doesn’t make much more sense now. This sounds more like something you say right before you fist someone in the ass and/or vagina. I think this may have originated as a derivation of “Buckle up” which is a far more important statement to make. I will never argue with “Buckle up!” because of how important auto safety is, but “Knuckle up” is just stupid. First off, I don’t fight with my knuckles up so this saying is completely worthless to me. I use a Drunken Praying Mantis style which is unorthodox, confusing, and dangerously effective. Second, why would you tell someone to put their knuckles up? “Hey I’m gonna beat the shit out of you, but first I want to make sure you’re defending yourself properly.” No, if you really want to hurt someone you won’t say “Knuckle up!” You’ll pretend like everything’s okay and you’re not upset, wait for them to turn around, pick up a brick and smash them in the back of the head with it. So if someone ever says “Knuckle up” you can pretty much just take them as a complete joke knowing they really aren’t that angry and also are completely unfamiliar with how to defend Drunken Praying Mantis.
