1)
for me, straight up is used informally to say honestly, truthfully
the dog ate my homework straight up!
that's exactly what I mean it's exactly what I had to say.
straight up he paid me back the money
straight up, means I am not joking, I am not pulling your leg. this is really what happened
come on, tell me straight up what happened. tell me honestly and truthfully
don't joke about it, tell me stright up
this usage of striaght up is British slang
tell me stright up
2)
the obvious meaning stright up, directly above you
he pointed straight up
he looked straight up
3)
you can use this straight up for a cocktail
I would like a martini straight up
this actually means, you make the martini and you put ice in the martini and you shake it you mix it and then you
strain out the ice
so straight up is without the ice, you strain out the ice
a gin and tonic straight up, so cool it down with the ice but take the ice out before you serve it
that is the idea, that is the opposite of on the rocks
give me a whiskey straight up, not on the rocks, not ice in it
4)
you can also use this in Americal and British English
if you describe somebody as straight up, you mean they are decent, honest, a good person

this is somebody who is honest and hebaves in a moral way
if sombody says you are straight up, that's very good and very positive
decent, honest, upright, thrustworthy

it's truly the genuine article

it's not a knockoff
Formality : 3 for meaning of honest truth
Formality : 5 for cocktail
Formality : 4 for a straight up person
