Literally: Don't let the bastards get you down. ie Keep up your struggle against unfair treatment. ("Bastards" in the sense of people who treat you unfairly).

Rowling's motto for Hogwarts school Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus The wrong use of the latin-sounding words is intentionally ironic and carries an implication of a lower class or self- educated person sticking it to "the man", who presumably could afford a classical education.

"How have you just scored with Stuart Downing?"
"You were 3-0 down, mate. There's no way your defenders could tackle a player of Stuart Downing's capability once Three-Nil Down Syndrome had kicked in".

Definition: the most beautiful person I have ever seen, she is extremely entertaining (especially when u sit next to her in maths) and never fails to make you laugh. She is the most honest person you will ever meet and you are so thankful to have her in your life. She is the best friend anyone would be extremely luck to have.
