I don't get it. What does "every day up" even mean?

  It is derived from a famous quotation from Chairman Mao. 好好学习，天天向上 "Study well, [and] improve every day." Making progress is conceived of as "upwards" movement.

    > Making progress is conceived of as "upwards" movement. Same concept exists in brazilian portuguese, at least in certain circles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porglish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porglish > Upar or uppar > to up (on a level; slang term used for RPG games by Brazilian players, instead of Port. evoluir) > to upload (instead of rarely used Port. subir – the opposite of baixar, the literal translation of download)
