Uh-oh,  "Down Under" is a put down?  I never realized that at all.  I 
always thought it referred to as being on the southern half of the 
planet we all live on.

If it is a put down, could someone clarify this and explain what it 
actually means?  I communicate with many folks all over the planet and 
I certainly don't want to use certain phrases that I believed to be 
harmless when in fact they are nasty.
