I was born and raised in houston and lived there for 15+ years. People say these words, but know one I know of actually associates them with specific cardinal directions. Up and down make elementary school sense and so likely are used this way in most places... I am wary of out vs over though. But who knows, maybe this is used explicitly by people in a specific region of Houston. I grew up mostly on the sw end.



I had the same thought as I was reading the article. My experience living in Houston for a decade was that no one assigned any special meaning to "out" and "over".
