Phrasal verb about "try out" vs. "try up"
After looked up dictionary I found out "try out" means :
If you try something out, you test it in order to find out how useful or effective it is or what it is like.
but have you ever heard the phrasal verb : try up ?
Are these two phrasal verb interchangeable ? Do they mean the same?

I’ve never heard “try up.” I don’t think it is used, at least in American English. There is a vulgar, slang use of “try her up” that is defined in urbandictionary.com.

'Try out' is a very common everyday phrasal verb. There is no equivalent phrasal verb 'try up'.
You can try out a new idea, for example, but you can't 'try up' a new idea. This makes no sense.
Please don't invent phrasal verbs! The phrasal verbs which do exist are already confusing enough for students. Don't confuse yourself unnecessarily by worrying about ones which don't even exist....
