Or if I asked if you needed to warm up, I would say, "Say, Mith, would you like me to knock you up?"

Ha ha ha ha! *wipes eyes* That's hysterical.
LOL No if you use it transitively it means what you are thinking here to ... or that you have knocked on their door to alert them to something... with tennis it is only used intransitively so really if a commentator at Wimbledon said that Federer and Henman were knocking up on Centre Court .... that would be quite ok..

Now shall we get back on topic
