Keep It Up

Max is studying with his book held up, following advice to 'keep it up'. The teacher clarifies that 'keep it up' means to continue doing something, not literally holding something up. The phrase originated from badminton in the Victorian era, where spectators encouraged players to keep the shuttlecock in play. Max learns he doesn't need to hold his book up, but should continue studying.
