British slang with two distinct lives. In civilian use, to brass up means to pay what you owe — settling a debt, handing over money, or coughing up cash you'd rather keep. The phrase has the feel of reluctant obligation, as if the money is being extracted rather than freely given. In military slang it takes a harder turn, meaning to shell or bombard a position with heavy fire — specifically machine-gun or artillery fire laid down with intensity. Context determines which brass up is being delivered.
