(Britain) A kind of folding bed.
A put-you-up is British English for a folding or sofa bed — the kind of improvised sleeping solution that gets dragged out when guests arrive and floor space becomes a premium. The name comes from the act of 'putting someone up' (giving them a place to stay), and the bed itself is the physical object that makes that hospitality possible. It folds away discreetly and re-emerges when needed, making it a staple of small British flats and family spare rooms.
(Scotland) Conceited; presumptuous.

"up-putting" means: The act of erecting or raising.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (obsolete) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
