when I was overseas a British friend left a note that said knock them up in the morning being American I never understood that till now.🤣

I wonder if that persuaded the term now used as slang for getting pregnant, or the other way around? Or just a random coincidence?

We had a knocker upper in a pit village in the North East of England, he used a long pole to rattle the upstairs window, this was the 1950's!
Player Say what!?
1wetdog, I spent a summer in High Wycombe when a newly made friend said, "I'll knock you up in the morning." When she saw the shock on my face and I explained why, we had a good laugh and we proceeded for two months to learn of each other's sayings. These are the things that make life and traveling worthwhile.

When I lived in Scotland I stayed over a couple's home one night. The husband asked me "What time do you want me to knock you up in the morning?"
I had to think about that a minute 😂.

In the UK to be knocked up nowadays means to have gotten pregnant!

In the late '70's, my first "real" job was at an Answering Service. One of my duties was a "ringer upper" I had a long list of people for whom the alarm clocks did not work! Lol! I had one or two that I was supposed to keep calling until they called me back.

Yet another job lost to technology it’s a good thing having technological advancements but there’s a fine line between invention for the betterment of the people & the betterment of a few lining their pockets with silver & gold. I think places where technology should be used most apart from the obvious of science & health care etc is where a job can cause injury or dangerous. Otherwise let’s encourage good employment practices - machines are so impersonal. Well that’s my opinion, tots sure some peeps would disagree.
