When did up become down?

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Back in the day people used to talk about being up for things. Now it's all about being down for those same things, a night out, a laugh, a bit of fun.

No one's leaving until we figure out what the hell's going on here.

That is all.

You may have a good point there

However when something goes up, someone needs to go down.. (thanks to Mr Newton for that one)

Isn't getting down a music related word? Back in the jazz era wasn't it popular to get down,or was that funk?

In the old days you stood UP for something but these days you are written DOWN on a list: hence the volteface

I don't understand this - but I very much like the usage of volte-face.

Reminds me of Harry Potter
