Other examples include-- A) In expression, used to describe surprise and happiness for the end of the week - Friday, a day in which school is typically over, or for those in work. It can be used also for Thursday itself, for people waiting for the week to be over. B) A title for a popular webcomic of the same name, about two mousethieves in London with a knack for stealing. The title stems from the fact that the main character, Patrick, was known as the 'Thursday Thief', for his crimes coincidentally happening on that day. Hence, people are trying to 'keep up with Thursday.' C) A term used to describe the end result of an orgasm during sexual intercourse; the success of a wonderful night in bed with your mate and/or lover. Commonly used in the United Kingdom, though included in the United States in some instances.

 [ "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" ]

1: 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' is the perfect show for you if you like the feeling you get when your brain is disintergrating. I caught a clip of it one time and Kim was unhappy because Kourtney borrowed her things without asking. So basically, the people in it just make a soap opera out of everything that happens in their world of nonsense. If you like 'The Hills', you'll like this. It's exactly the same, except the cast are fatter.

  * e.g.,  ... Tracy: I hate it when my parents go on about how much more clever by sister is then me. I wish I was that clever. But, I'd have to spend a lifetime studying to get up to her level. 

 [ "keeping up with the Botwins" ]

1: Much like 'keeping up with the Joneses', in which a family competes with neighbors to own the coolest home, car, things, and kids; keeping up with the Botwins is the struggle to afford to do so through crime. The name is derived from the Botwin family in the Showtime series Weeds, led by Nancy Botwin, who sells marijuana in order to provide and protect her family, who follow in her criminal footsteps.

  * e.g.,  ... I was wondering how the family down the block could afford three Lamborghinis and a Porsche until they got busted by the cops for keeping up with the Botwins. I'm selling MDMA in order to pay for college loans. Just trying to keep up with the Botwins! 

 [ "keep up with the Joneses" ]

1: Basically, it's an expression used to symbolize jealousy across the neighborhood and the need to keep up with each other. It's usually just technology, but the subject can be changed to lawnmowers, cars, etc.

  * e.g.,  ... Sometime in 200.. 

 [ "not keeping up with the Jone's" ]

1: Not buying the latest and greatest, making do with what you have, because you have more important places to put the money, such as your kids education or your retirement.

 [ "keeping up with the road" ]
