in alto i piedi!


Language variant: metti i piedi in prima linea!

Explanation:
Per parafrasare l'intimazione dei rapinatori "in alto le mani!"...
Oppure, in alternativa alle proposte che ti ho dato, c'è anche il classico "metti i piedi in primo piano!" che non mi pare sia stata ancora citata.

fai un passo avanti!


Explanation:
Hi Luke, a me viene in mente questo, giocando un po' con le parole e con i doppi sensi.
