The other day, Mr F and I were watching Jeopardy! while playing "Circles" -- that's his game where he runs circles around something. In this case, he was running circles around Frankencouch, and I joined him while we watched Jeopardy!.
As the two of us ran circles around Frankencouch, Alex Trebek introduced a category called "Uppers and Downers" and one of the questions was something like "Shoppers encounter this to move from one level of a mall to another." The answer was escalator, but that got me thinking, and what I thought (as we ran in circles, furiously) is this:
Isn't it only an escalator when you use it to go up?
Coming down, it should really be a de-escalator.
