getting it up
Male sexual readiness
Getting it up refers to achieving an erection—the ability to become sexually aroused enough for intercourse.
The phrase typically appears in negative contexts discussing erectile difficulty: He's been having trouble getting it up lately.
By extension, getting it up can mean summoning enthusiasm or energy for any task: I just couldn't get it up for another meeting.
