downtown

Used by animation fans or the geeks that frequent the science fiction conventions. A serious and unexplainable act of stupidity that causes an irrecoverable disastrous loss. As in “Did a Downtown.” Origin is from the popular and award winning MTV series Downtown canceled after a short run and replaced by a series of shows that ranged from simply less successful to out right disasters.

I didn’t set the parking break on the moving van and it rolled through the new uninsured house that was a major Down Town.

Downtown Abbey

When people mistakenly refer to the British drama series "Downton Abbey" as "Downtown Abbey". These are usually people who have never watched the series but want to have something to talk about to their smart/posh friends who like that kind of stuff, often in a bid to "fit in" or be perceived as normal in a certain environment. Easy giveaway when they claim to be an avid fan of it, yet can't even say it properly. Completely unaware of their mistake yet nobody mentions this to them as it becomes an inside joke whenever they say it.

Person A: hey everyone, did you watch the last episode of Downtown Abbey? I loved their portrayal of the Elizabethan era!
Person B: *whispers to Person C* now we know this guy is not really a fan of the show. Plus it's actually set in the Victorian era.

Person C: I know right! Let's just play along though, for fun.

downtown beirut

A situation that is totally unbearable. The term does not refer to the current war in the Middle East but the one in the eighties.

Etymology: A derivation on the work "brutal," which became "brutes," then "Beirut" then "Downtown Beirut."

"Downtown Beirut" is "brutal" to a whole new level.

Katie: "I have zero dollars right now. Not only can I not pay my rent but I can't afford my yeast infection medication. My life is brutal"

Barb: "Dude, I can't pay my rent and my husband's having a manic-episone because we can't afford his anti-psychotic medication. I'm living in Downtown Beirut."
