People also say (in AE), "Here you go." They also say that in Australian. (A couple of the "kids" on "my" forum are Australian.) Originally Posted by tdol

It could. Basically, it just means somewhere else. BTW, a popular nickname for Australia is Down Under. I might have been unconsciously thinking of that.btw, "down there" often means what? does it refer to remoter areas?
