Whenever my room gets to be a mess, I usually spend a few days complaining about it before I get around to cleaning, saying something like, "Jeez, I should really pick up my room today."
The Kiwi Flatmate finds this particularly amusing because I cannot "pick up" my room in the literal sense. Instead, she says that I should opt to "tidy up" my room.
American English -> New Zealand English
to pick up = to tidy up
