Slang for having a sexual encounter or secret rendezvous with someone — spending private time together in a romantic or physical sense. 'Laying up with' someone implies an intimate hookup, often with a suggestion of sneakiness or staying together longer than appropriate. It's used in American and some British slang, appearing frequently in blues, R&B, and hip-hop lyrics. The phrasing carries a hint of drama, suggesting the tryst is something being hidden or whispered about.
Word got around town that she'd been laying up with someone she definitely shouldn't have been.
