could either mean short for "hey you sit down in front" (as if the person was blocking a view) or it could mean short for "hey look i am down in front!" proclaiming seated-superiority....
in futurama season two episode twelve entitled "raging bender", all the gang went down to the theatre and the professor shouted: "down in front!"
i was at a ball game and some guy shouted "hey! down in front"
for the love of bhudda, would someone give a clearer definition of down in front than this jerk?
Referring to someone in the front row of seats in either a stadium or theatre, this person could also be in the first two-three rows depending on how many rows there are. Usually, this is used in a negative, as someone may be blocking the view, or, there’s a situation.
“Who’s that idiot blocking the screen?” “DOWN IN FRONT!” (The man throws an empty bottle at the “idiot blocking the screen” and hits the shot)
