turnup
Trouser bottom fold
A turnup is a cuff on a trouser leg, folded up at the bottom—the British term for what Americans call a cuff.
The word also describes something that appears unexpectedly: a lucky turnup.
The phrase a turnup for the books means a surprising result, originally from horse racing when an unexpected winner disrupted the bookmakers' odds.
