Ready or ready up?

Hello,

Sometimes I hear that some people say ready up instead of ready.

So please someone tell me what's the diffrenece between these words?

Thanks,

JM.

Hi, I can't remember ever hearing this expression. 'Up' is often used to add casual emphasis, eg listen up, lighten up, hurry up, slow up, man up. Clive

Ready Up is the name of a gaming website.

According to the Urban Dictionary, "ready up" is a 'cool slang way' of saying "ready" in Northwest London.

As a learner of English you will have little or no need for the expression "ready up"; you can safely forget it!

Thank you.

But I do not like to learn English like the others who learn. I want to learn it just like natives. Speak it without think about what I want to say. When you want to post here or speak with people you will not think how to say. But unfortunately when I'm writing here or anywhere else, I should check out what I wrote. But I'll try over and over till I learn it.

I saw ( or heard ) ready up in Call of duty game which I was playing it.
