Thread Name: What does 'Go down' mean?
Subject: RE: What does 'Go down' mean?
As to "pinks and posies", pinks are a variety of rose, for what it's worth.
And no one has mentioned the Scottish ballad use of "go down", to mean "be executed" or "be killed", as in "Hughie the Graeme, you must go down".
