HI,Alan
I know that turn up has many meanings in different places.Such as arrive,increase the volume and so on.Which meaning does it take in this sentence?

[Alan]

Morning Strawberry,

This expression means feel you are too important to accept/despise. For example if you have no money at all and someone offers you a free meal, you wouldn't turn your nose up at the offer.

Hope that helps.

Alan

Hi Sevide,

This expression describes old people (very often, as here old women) in an affectionate way.
