1.
v.t.: to challenge by inquiring what's going on. In origin, a contraction of "sup?" (from African American Vernacular English) and "
uprise" (from American anarchist
counterculture movement). Not to be confused with surprise.
2. n: the act of suprising someone or something.
If you want to stage an
intervention, it's often useful to start with a gentle suprise.
You really
suprised me the other day when you asked about my relationship (
with food, with my father, with that business establishment). I hadn't thought about what I was doing that way before.
