Is it just me or are people also using hands up instead of hands down? As in: this is hands down/up the best post I've read all day.

As a non English native this always throws me off.

Aussie chiming in: haven't heard hands up before, might be a US thing

US here, we use "hands down".

That is hands down the worst children's play I've ever seen.
