The word 'down' as an adjective

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me if down is used (frequently or occasionally) as an adjective in spoken English? Please see this example.

[Mister Micawber]

.
'Down': no
'Bottom' or 'lower/lowest': yes.

Rarely. I can think of one. On the up side, I received a raise, but on the down side, I had to move. Down here is used as an adjective meaning negative or bad.

.
Most of them seem to be rather idiomatic, Tom-- 'down payment', 'the down stairs', etc.

A- Do you mean this drawer?
B- No, the down one.

The down drawer could be a "SAD drawer" (smile)
