A phrase made popular by circus clowns and other circus workers. It literally means what you would think it means. It's a form of "see you later". People in the circus absolutely hate saying goodbye, because goodbye is final. See you down the road means that although you're leaving right now, our paths will cross again! Like the train tracks that we travel on from city to city.
I hope you have safe travels, see you down the road!

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
