put up, off-the-point DARE's evidence suggests that "put up," as
in "I'll put up a pot of coffee," is localized in the NYC area.
Another term from New York City is "off-the- point," for a
sidewalk ball game that involves throwing a spaldeen at the
corner edge of a building. Does anyone remember that? If so,
