Upsi'des. _adv._ On an equal or superior footing. _To be
upsides_ with a person, is to do something which shall be
equivalent to, or of greater importance or value than what has

Utch'y. _pron._ I. This word is not used in the Western or
Eastern, but only in the Southern parts of the County of Somerset.
It is, manifestly, a corrupt pronunciation of _Ich_, or
_IchA"_, pronounced as two syllables, the Anglo-Saxon word for
I. _What shall utchy do?_ What shall I do.
I think Chaucer sometimes uses _iche_ as a dissyllable;
_vide_ his Poems _passim_.
