turn-up

1. Fabric turned up at the bottom of trousers to make them shorter.

   Why does all this fluff accumulate in the turn-ups?

2. (dated)A fight or disturbance.

3. The next card taken from the top of a pack of cards and displayed.

   I'll bet $10 that the next turn-up is an ace.

4. (figuratively)A stroke of good luck; something that appears unexpectedly; especially in turn up for the book.

5. (historical)A book, intended for children, with flaps that can be lifted to reveal underlying text or images.
