Pickup covers things that are collected or gathered.
A pickup is a small truck with an open bed for hauling.
In music, a pickup is a device that captures string vibrations for amplification, or the notes before a downbeat.
A pickup game is informal and impromptu—players are picked up on the spot.
To pick up speed is to accelerate.
A pickup line is an opening gambit to attract a stranger: He tried some cheesy pickup line at the bar.
The adjective describes things assembled ad hoc: a pickup band.
