Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!

What the cantankerous Homer Bedloe gets stuck with doing every time he misses the Hooterville Cannonball and is therefore forced to take a manually-pumped hand-car along the tracks that run from Hooterville to Pixley.
The ultimate "puffed-up dandy-dude getting cut down to size for once" recurring gag-scene from "Petticoat Junction" is when Mr. Bedloe --- while embarked on yet another failed mission to scrap the Hooterville Cannonball --- is forced to perform his classic "Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!" routine with the handcar-lever as he solo-races a clunky hand-car from Hooterville to Pixley after he's either missed the train or is otherwise somehow prevented from "riding in style".

Kiss up kick down 

Kiss up kick down is a neologism, believed to have originated in the United States, which describes the situation where employees in an organisation are polite superiors to the point of sycophancy but abusive and unpleasant to subordinates. The people who do this are often those who do not have the ability to progress further and try to take out their frustrations on others as they lack the courage to try something new. They are usually bullies who are scared of competition, change and anything else that they see as a threat.
“I see Malcolm’s gone from reducing Jenny to tears to kissing Mark’s arse.”
“That’s Malcolm, kiss up kick down.”

Trumped-up trickle-down

A variation of a golden shower, this lewd sex act involves paying underage prostitutes to urinate on an object which represents your enemy or rival.
Bobby also seems to want Vanessa, so I grabbed his letter jacket while he was distracted to give it the ol' Trumped-up trickle-down. Can I borrow a tarp?

Twice up the barrel, once down the side 

A self-contained phrase that states something is indisputably right during any kind of disagreement.
After debating for hours, Julie said to Mike, "No matter what you say, I will always know tennis balls are yellow, not green. Twice up the barrel, once down the side."

Stay down till you come up 

To humble your self wait you’re turn in line patiently until it’s your time to shine
First person: “Damn i been rapping for 3 years and I’m still not rich and famous”

Second person: “it’s okay your raw you just gotta have patients and stay down till you come up”. Tune into my songs tho 1.kvon

fast up, fast down

WHAT? WTF (This saying makes no sense!)
The bozo who coined: "fast up, fast down" must have meant: "what goes up, must come down". Uh, maybe?
