Saying you're down to do something means the same thing as saying you're up for it.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Gotta get up to get down.
"I get knocked down! But I get up again! And you're never gonna keep me down!"
On the other hand,, "knocked down" and "knocked up" have drastically different meanings, which is a little confusing for foreigners sometimes. =P
Pissing the night away is also a double entendre, meaning wasting time or literally pissing all night from drinking.
