I'm reading this manga, and came accross the following monologue:

> たかが弦ごときで世界の終わりみてーなツラしやがって
>
> 俺が上げて落としたみてーで後味ワリーだろがッ
>
> 俺の昼寝返せ!!!

I can't understand what 上げて落としたみて means. Is this an expression? Are those
verbs all changing each others meanings?

I've found those translations so far: "I'd feel bad if I were to leave now",
"you make me feel bad just looking at you, and gives me a bad feeling"

question
meaning verbs syntax
What is the meaning of 上げて落としたみてー?
みてー is a contracted form of みたい ("is like ～"). It's an instance of
[/ai/-to-/ee/ contraction](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/18454/5010).
上げて is the te-form of 上げる, and 落とす is a verb. Therefore a very literal
translation is "It's like I raised it and then dropped it".

上げて落とす is a slangy expression which may be called an idiom. It roughly means
"to set someone's expectations and then disappoint them", "to praise something
and then disparage", etc. 上げる basically means "to elevate", but it also has
slangy meanings like "to praise", "to flatter" or "to hype". 落とす is to "to
drop", but it also means "to say negative things about something", "to
disappoint", etc.
