Eric Partridge offers two definitions for the word “tip up” but neither seems at all relevant to the quoted situation: tip up, or tip up.

To hand out, ‘fork out, exp. Money: low:—1859… 2. To hold out; low and nautical:—1887 Esp. AS in Baumann: tip up your fist, reach or give me your hand! , shake hands. You know how to.

As Barmar says in a comment above, the context of the phrase “tips up” in the OP’s question indicates that its intended meaning is “shows up” ” However, if this usage is idiomatic in the UK, it hasn’t yet become widespread in published print writing. Google Books searches for the phrases “tip up at,” “tips up at,” “tips up at,” and “tipping up at” uncover exactly two on-point matches. How do people get lost in the

endless patterns of upward thinking when making decisions and in the current direction? Then it really is an awful virus, and it does slowly kill people off mentally. Imconnected to the meaning of their work, to their new role, or their new goals, the energy ebbs away, until the shell of a human tips up at work each day and emptily carries out its task. My experience is that of a cyborg, and of a pig sucking the shell out of their own mind; how should I deal with it? The rich dynamism of a challenging and engaged career suddenly seems a rare thing.

Miranda Glover, Soulmates, (2007): The war

in Iraq rumbled on, but now Israel was fighting Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon, too, and the region seemed set for a period of even greater instability, of civilian carnage. Will followed the news eagerly, seemed energized by the escalation of violence and spent countless hours with Ralph, discussing the latest attacks, calculating their impact, economically, environmentally and, most significantly, from a humanitarian perspective. He was tipping up at Polly’s place later and later at night and she noticed that he was drinking more. Many days could go by when he no longer mentioned Emi.

An email asking about “tip/tips/tipped/tipping up in” brought two additional matches. I ran my second set of searches as soon as possible, but this time the search was rejected. From Robert Ashton, Waking Up in London (2003) :

Then tipped up in London. I’ve got a straight job here, drumming in bands there. I can’t quite go to school. Why did they move to the Observer (of The Oregon Independent in 1965)? I know it doesn’t work so strongly, but it does. When I came to London in 1983, I found myself playing a lot of straight-ahead jazz, : This zone had not been her intended destination when they

had turned the time key that morning, and her voice was too slow. … and another situation had apparently gone awry. It is important for a person to get dressed and befitted for a walk around the world. However, he had intended for them to spend the day in around 2050, when the emissions had at last been cleared and the atmosphere was fit to breathe again. She had not expected to tip up in 2020, when the world put the chaos back into chaos theory.

Notwithstanding the Americanized spelling “energized” in Glover’s excerpt, Soulmates was “First published in Great Britain,” according to the book’s copyright page; the other three books appear to have been published only in the UK. So it seems that “tips up” is a British idiom of fairly recent vintage, that can be used with at or in (and possibly other prepositions) and has the meaning “shows up” or “pops up. ”

“Granting” is “the name of my own company”

The context of the story is “two very shabby looking young men” standing on the corner of a snowy, muddy, slushy street in Chicago on Christmas Eve. Passing vehicles throw freezing slop on them and they have the following exchange:

“So, remarked the elder of the two, I guess we are at our rope’s end, sure enough.” What do you feel when you have done? ”

“Pretty shaky. I like trying. Love the rock…” We have a sharp wind tonight. If I had been eating something I mightn’t mind it much. What’s your favorite way to watch a show? I’m sick and tired of all the ads and webcasts. What is there besides the lake that makes it look like it isn’t there? Is

the sex is better at exposing incompetent students to stupid ” nonsense…’? What are you left with that you can hock myself? Illogicalely,

the younger man’s observation that “there is nothing for it but the lake” is that one should drown themselves. Would you take a dip in lake Michigan on Christmas Eve just to clean slush off your clothes?
