Description

I read from down-at-the-heels to downhiller.

 

 

Downdraft and downburst are types of damaging winds:

I think Downforce is literally pushing down on a vehicle so it's more aerodynamic. When you put something on a car to give it downforce, it's like the opposite of a wing.

The word of the episode is "down-at-the-heels".

Your shoes are worn to the heel and you can't replace them so you're shabby!
