What does push buttons mean?
People in your own family know exactly what buttons to push to cheer you up.
Is this sentence correct?
Cuz I've look it up and knew it means :
1. To deliberately irritate
2. To intentionally provoke another without reason
3. To wear away at the patience of someone until that person wants to
slap you
4. To capitalize on the emotional vulnerabilities of another
so can I use it in a positive way?
Thanks

the usage of "on" after up
Here is a sentence" I can't give up on you".
So can I say" Don't let drinking sneak up on you，" or
