BosGuy brain teaser

brain teaser, rodin, riddleEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.  If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s riddle:

My family is a handful, and I’m known as the brawler.
I’m the first in order, though my siblings stand taller.
When I’m on my own it can mean one of two things:
Catch me when I’m down and you may frown.
When I’m up, it’s a definite yup.

Who or what am I?
