citationnerded··on Talk Like a Texan: How Texans Use “Down,” “Out,” “Over,” and “Up”
I was born and raised in houston and lived there for 15+ years. People say these words, but know one I know of actually associates them with specific cardinal directions. Up and down make elementary school sense and so likely are used this way in most places... I am wary of out vs over though. But who knows, maybe this is used explicitly by people in a specific region of Houston. I grew up mostly on the sw end.
