I think it's supposed to be a play on the word "racket." As in, "to put up a racket" or "make a racket" meaning make a bunch of noise.

I agree that it's horrendously written and really forced.

I would guess that I less safe for work domains, putting something (phallic) up is usually followed by a name for an orifice.

"They don't like it up 'em" - well-known phrase from the British sitcom 'Dad's Army'.

And now the idiom makes sense. Thank you!
