You don’t. You get down from a duck.

      Down is a type of feather that was used in various (fancy) bedding and clothes. Nowadays synthetic options are significantly more common and anything with real down feathers is quite expensive.

        Oh. That actually explains a lot (uses to hear the term “down feather” as a kid every now and then)

        Hah, I thought I got it and I still didn’t quite get it. I was thinking of “get down” as in lowering your body. Like, your body is lowered from the act of ducking. Get down from a duck(ing position).
