The phrase "makes up top ones head" is sometimes used to refer to something that is imagined or made up rather than based on reality. The spelling of this phrase can be broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /meɪks ʌp tɒp wʌnz hɛd/. The 'a' in "makes" is pronounced as in "day," the 'o' in "ones" as in "stone," and the 'e' in "head" as in "bed." The stressed syllables are marked with a 'ˈ' symbol, which falls on "makes," "top," and "head."
