It means you have no class. I think the myriad replies speaks volumes. |

Excellent contribution -- all open to interpretion, yes? What is there if there's no conensus then? It has different connotations to everyone.... That means the way you enterprit and see it may be different than the way I enterprit and see it. |

Needless to say, it goes without saying that it is pretty much the same thing, but a little different.

It means they want someone simple and incapable of conceptual thought.

Hey I dig, if a certain category won't understand the term "down to earth," I dig, and I hope it isn't used except by those who have already excluded those who have already excluded certain brain-types. Hmm... Maybe it means nothing then, for the general public? (i.e. productively) I didn't exclude you sugar, but I'm so down to earth I realized you didn't see things outside the box so I explained it to you in your terms. I'm not insulting you, you're highly intelligent. But I'm willing to bet you don't paint, write poetry or sing... Nothing wrong with that, you are who you are. I like your reply. It's to say, though, that a term is valid only if you "paint, write, poetry[sic] or sing..." It seems to me one's language should be meaningful to all in order to maximize communication. |

I misquoted "write poetry," my apologies. |

I think it means.....
(Hey, did she just wave at me? I think that woman at the top just waved at me. And said my name. I'm pretty sure) I think it means 'boring and non-adventurous'. But it could just mean they are unable to obtain escape velocity... perhaps due to excess baggage or an inordinate amount of sucking by the earth. |

I never said that YOU misread what I did say. (again in your language) that you see things as concrete, black and white and this term is not a black and white issue. What I consider to be "down to earth" is not what Jill or you or others may see as down to earth. The definition as Tina stated is the definition, however it's connotation to everyone may be different. It doesn't make anyone wrong, it makes them human. I'm going to go out on a limb here and go on to say that not only do you not paint, sing or write, you also only wear solid color clothing or with a slight stripe, your alarm goes off at the same time everyday and you do not believe in magic. |

I absolutely agree that ideas are all about greys. Language, on the other hand, depends on constants. I will contend that proclaiming something means something given even waht we've seen tonight means it is not a useful term to use. Why not fall on others? And if so, I would like to hear those replacements! |
