#155 What goes up, must come down

from Streetwise Hebrew

Laredet, to go down, is the opposite of La'alot, to go up. But the root ירד has so many other meanings. We use it to talk about the rain, internet downloads, mocking our friends, taking shots of alcohol, and more raunchy terms you should definitely know - which is why this episode isn't suitable for younger listeners.
