Where I used to live in Alabama. Gadsden. This is downtown after an inch or 2 of snow. As you can see down south it snows everything shuts down. when I say downtown, you’re looking at it, there is no more.

Danny, can you explain “downtown” and “uptown” for me, because I see this often and I’m not really sure what it means…

Neither am I. Nonsensical words best I can do. 
Uptown meaning more posh perhaps?

Oh right…uptown means posh and perhaps wealthy, and downtown is less so…interesting!

OK but that doesn’t explain how you go up and down streets which are horizontal??!! 
What happens if you live on the wrong side of the tracks in a town without a train??
Here’s an English one I not only don’t get, but it sounds kinda treacherous. “Wearing a cat.”

I haven’t heard that? What does it mean? There’s a saying “Not enough room to swing a cat” meaning a space is really tiny,(And also sounds treacherous!) but I don’t know what wearing a cat means… 
Which derived from the space to swing a cat of nine tails.

Aye possibly…?
Sorry that one was not English. It was Japanese. I heard during a BBC documentary and thought it was British. My bad. I watch too much BBC.
Wear a cat on one’s head (Japanese, 猫を被る/ neko o kaburu) No, this has nothing to do with someone’s scratchy mess of a wig (that would be too literal). The Japanese use this idiom when a person is pretending to be sweet, or putting on an act of friendliness in order to hide their true nature.

In fact I told someone the other I had some bits and bobs to do. They said What? I laughed and said stuff, I got stuff to do today. You guys are a bad influence.
