get those milk pots up

12:49 Dec 4, 2012 

If this IS Mauritius (we've had no confirmation that it is, but Grand Bassin sees the largest Hindu festival outside India) I remember there being steps up to the top of a hill, but I can't remember whether a/tehe temple is at the top of the hill, or just a viewpoint. It could explain the "get them up" idea though.

...which explains a lot!

But what is the geography of the situation? Is the person saying this in some way 'up' on the statue, and asking for the milk containers to be handed up to them? Or are they all standing round the base of the statue, waiting for people to bring the milk up a long flight of steps?

The key point is whether or not there is any vertical sense to 'up', as this will surely change the perposition and/or verb required in FR? Cf. several uses in EN where 'up' is used with no sense at all of vertical movement or position, like the fairground cry 'Roll up, roll up!' — or indeed, 'roll up the carpet'; also 'to turn up unexpectedly'.

un rapport possible avec une boisson gazeuse?...

Pour vous donner le contexte:
Il s'agit d'un rituel indien et lors de ce rituel , du lait doit être versé sur une idole:
here is the dialogue :
all have come from home:
"but milk has not come yet"
"get those milk pops up"

voici le dialogue

effectivement le décor est planté mais quelle est la question (la phrase dans laquelle se trouve cette expression) ?

Presumably this takes place in Mauritius?

The EN term asked does not appear in the FR text given. Please give us the EN text in which the question term appears, and if possible, try to explain how and where it is being used?
