Incorrect. I get down with the sickness or with my bad self.

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’

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

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.

If you don't use goose down, you don't use down at all.

Don't be such a downer.

Last night I dreamt I ate my pillow.

When I woke up I was a bit down in the mouth.

Didn’t need to click, but I did anyway.

I was 10 when this aired. I used to watch Soul Train after Saturday morning cartoons.

Q: What do you do with an elephant with three balls?
A: Walk him and pitch to the geraffe!
