stood up
Got to feet
Stood up is the past tense of stand up, which has several meanings beyond the literal act of rising to one's feet.
To be stood up is to be abandoned by someone who failed to show for a date or appointment: He waited an hour before realizing he'd been stood up.
To stand up for someone is to defend them; to stand up to someone is to confront or resist them.
Something that stands up holds together under scrutiny: His alibi didn't stand up.
