1. 1

    A knees-up is a loud, cheerful party — singing, dancing, drink, and a bit of mess. It is British, informal, and a little old-fashioned, though people still say it with a smile. It comes from a music-hall song, 'Knees Up Mother Brown' (sung from at least 1918; published in 1938), which had dancers lifting their knees. So it is not a stretch class, and it is not a medical word. Americans generally do not use it this way. Think pub, wedding, street party — not a quiet dinner.
