meaning of this expression: keep your hands up
" Well, keep your hands up." --> by the context it doesn't mean literally "put your hands up"; so, what does that mean!??
Thanks!

Re:meaning of this expression: keep your hands up
it's hard to tell without any context. Why are you supposed to "keep your hands up"?

Re:meaning of this expression: keep your hands up
I have heard that used .I have heard put your hands up,unless you already are in a class and teacher says keep your hands up.that the only way I know it can be used.
If its keep your hand in,thats an idiom-for make sure you do not lose contact with the job the subject the project or the person ect.

There's a idiom called keep your head up and it means keep your head alert but I don't think that keep your hands up is a idiom

Yes, there is an expression keep your head up or keep your chin up. I always thought it meant cheer up, or hang in there.
I don't know keep your hands up. I would take that literally haha.

Re:Re:meaning of this expression: keep your hands up
The expression is "keep your head up" (stay positive, don't be down/depressed, things will get better, hang in there)
"Keeps your hands up" = that's what the police say when you are about to be arrested!! You dn't want to hear that expression!

Re:meaning of this expression: keep your hands up
It's a fighting idiom. It literally means "to keep your hands up". Your hands & forearms are there to block punches.
