Up and Down

It's amazing how a single word can change the entire meaning of a phrase or sentence.  English is one of the weirdest languages, hands down.  All those who agree, hands up!

Up and down.  Down and up.  How does that work? 

But hey, while you're raising your hand, lay back, feet up and enjoy -- live it up!  But not too much.  If you do something stupid, you'll never live it down.  And if you do it again, I will put my foot down and put a stop to it.

Up and down.  Down and up.  How does that work? 

If you're laying down, there's no way you can do a layup.  So, I want you to sit up, get up and get down to the music and then you can sit down once again.  Just remember to sit up -- don't slouch.

It's time to head out.  The big showdown is tonight and I have to show up.  It's a stand-up comedian looking to stand down after many years in the business.  It'll be a stare down with the crowd.

Up and down.  Down and up.  How does that work?

Shut up!  Say that one more time and I'll shut down.

I'm outta here.
