budge up
Make some room
Budge up means to move over slightly to make room for someone else, typically on a seat or bench.
It's British and informal: Budge up a bit so I can sit down.
The phrase implies a small adjustment rather than a major relocation—you're not giving up your spot, just sharing it.
