The phrase "elbows up" is deeply rooted in hockey, particularly the game style of Gordie Howe, who was nicknamed "Mr. Elbows" for his defensive tactics. When opposing players were being aggressive or trying to take advantage, "elbows up" was a signal for players to stand their ground and defend themselves.
In recent years, "elbows up" has gained a wider meaning, especially in Canada, where it has become a way to express national pride and assertiveness in the face of challenges, like trade disputes or political tensions.
