Made up
Significado: Extremely pleased, delighted (Scouse).
To be 'made up' in Scouse means to be extremely happy or pleased about something. 'I'm made up for you' expresses genuine delight at someone else's good fortune. It's warmer and more emphatic than just 'pleased.' The term is used across the North but is particularly associated with Liverpool.
