**** Usage notes
- As _down_ may be used as a preposition or adverb in its own right, the combination _go down_ may also occur in cases where _go_ is used literally. For example, _down the street_ means "away from the speaker along the street in question" regardless of whether _go_ is present:
- [en]
- [en]
Similarly,
- [en]
- [en]
Idioms such as these are properly considered senses of down.
