Ha, I get it!
But let's say I have a friend who doesn't...
Down is a type of feather that was used in various (fancy) bedding and clothes. Nowadays synthetic options are significantly more common and anything with real down feathers is quite expensive.
And real down is also extremely cruel. Just sayin’
IMO, real down only remains necessary for stuff like backpacking, because it's lighter and packs smaller than any synthetic of comparable insulation amount. Unless you need that, synthetic is better.
Oh. That actually explains a lot (uses to hear the term "down feather" as a kid every now and then)
I think it’s easier to get down from a goose than a duck.

Hah, I thought I got it and I still didn't quite get it. I was thinking of "get down" as in lowering your body. Like, your body is lowered from the act of ducking. Get down from a duck(ing position).
I thought get down meant "disembark", like an elephant is too tall for you to climb down, but here's a friendly, robust duck who likes to ferry humans about. We don't know what his problem is.
The ol’ parka boogie.
