What does "to pull up" mean in slang?
The structure combines "pull" (to move) with "up" (toward a destination), forming a phrasal verb for arriving somewhere. It is used to describe going or traveling to a location, often to meet someone, such as "Pull up to my house" or "He pulled up to the party late." The term originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and hip hop culture.
