Yeah I don't think that's what "up yours" means in that context.

    Anyone using it in that manner absolutely means it that way in context. It's a gag that's decades old, a staple of Gen X culture, which is squarely Tim Sweeney.

    Except I didn't assert that non-American GenX wasn't 'true' gen-x, just that it might be a facet particular to Gen-X in America, and perhaps a non-American could be excused for not being in on it.

    On top of everything else, it was the core of 7-up's marketing in the early 2000s.
