AK> Why does "go south" mean something wrong?

This is a long story, best explained I think, at
https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-2006-12-26-06122
0438-story.html

In brief, on most maps South is down so the correlation becomes "going down" =
"going South" = "going bad".  There are other possibilies .. let me know if you
can't access the link.

Cheers... Dallas
