  1. The king abdicated when he married the queen.
    so what, even a King, from time to time
    gives up his spleen
    for the sake of downgrading his forbidden fruit
    for one-day dried up
    prunes.
    A dim auroral glow, shows inside of the King’s shiny armor.

  2. I downgraded when I chose her. She was always my second choice, and it took me far too long to realize what a mistake second choices are. Maybe it was easier on my heart I decided.

  3. I was downgraded from a good seat to a bad seat on the plane, the only thing being the amount of legroom and arm space and lack of free stuff. I was livid but i remained calm with all the eyes of the plane on me as I went to my new position. It was then I calmed down as I noticed who i would be sitting next to. Your movement filled me with excitement, such elegance and when I was brave enough to look at you, my goodness what beauty. I had been downgraded but my mood had been upgraded especially when after starting a conversation you seemed quite happy to answer back.

  4. The teacher stared at me. I was alone as I stood above the rest of the class. I gazed at the teacher, pure fury filling my eyes, which began to spill over with heavy drops of tears. Some of the students in the class began to laugh at me. I closed my eyes and gently rocked myself backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards.

  5. To downgrade is to lower in status, which is intriguing because of the way in which “downgrading” is associated with depression, not only among humans but also among chimpanzees and perhaps other primates. I wonder whether “downgrading” is a possibility even among creatures such as eusocial insects, like bees, or whether that isn’t a possibility because the kind of individualism of position isn’t possible in those societies.

  6. Some people felt that their computer
    was possessed by a demon from Hell

    It was really a simple downgrade attack
    made against their running Open SSL!

  7. What the hell does it mean? It’s times like this I wish George Carlin was still here so he could give us all a good lesson on what a shit word like this is supposed to mean. Seriously

  8. I totally downgraded. Dear god. I went from Brett to Ben Stiller? All because he could take the headphones off of my brother? What was I even thinking? Like, yeah, Ben is sweet, I guess. But Brett. Brett Favre. Think of that paycheck. That life insurance!

  9. This is a word that the very wealthy want you to think makes getting poorer and losing what you’ve built for years all okay. Fuck them. Ask any one of them if they’re ‘downgrading.’ They’d look at you like you have twenty five eyes. What a stupid poor motherfucker you are, they’re thinking. Maybe you’re one of those people who thinks that people like them, guys with a shitload of money and (apparently) no worries or debt, maybe you’re a person who thinks, Well, God Almighty, there’s a smart son of a bitch. And may a smart son of a bitch like that, well maybe he can run a country. Maybe he can keep jobs in the USA and maybe, well, since he knows how to make money, maybe he can make money for me too. Well here’s some news: You’re an ignorant motherfucker if you think that. Especially if the rich man you’re talking about has red hair, lots of hotels and no moral sense whatsoever. But hey, don’t listen to this rant about him. Wait. Come back here in four years. No. Wait. Two years. When you can’t pay for your cancer treatments and you’re paying taxes for walls nobody needs or wants and your Medicare is all dried up. Except please don’t come here and bitch. I don’t want to hear it.

  14. Downgrade? Things getting worse. Or going backwards. I guess you could say both, for the people who go back to previous versions of apps (I was thinking the term for the new versions was upgrades but it’s actually updates), but they obviously do so because they think the new version is a downgrade.

  15. Dont do it. It’s just that simple. But even then.. If you do, it’s okay. Life is all about upgrading and downgrading. The ups and the downs. We learn as we grow. It’s okay if you downgrade, but don’t let it take you down forever. Let it bring out the best in you.

I was doing well.. But I’ve always had to rely on other people, and now I see where that’s gotten me. But I’m still doing it, huh?

  24. “How’s it looking, boss?”

    Lesley sighed and worked a wad of mucus down her throat. Her cold had not improved for two days, and she was both physically and mentally congested – like her brain was clogged up.

    “Well, Clyde,” she said, “I’d hate to downgrade Ben’s efforts, but…I can’t use this.”

    She passed the folder of documents back to Clyde, whose eyebrows had shot up so high that they almost moved to the top of his bald head.

  25. I need a downgrade. My life is super sweet. Please downgrade now. That’s silly, but that’s what I’m in the mood for. Not needing an upgrade, I’ll be content with a slight downgrade. It will all be okay. I wonder as I wander. Go for it. That’s all for now. Have a nice day!

  27. college graduate, was enervated once she found that her A+ downgraded
    to an A minus
    now she can go home and finally rest,
    the entire semester downgraded her momentum,
    she forgot make time for friends and life’s dentures
    here we are now;
    a deep sigh;
    from the beachside breeze;
    now she’s upgraded.
    Grew up in a house with no windows,
    so what,
    that’s why she’s upbraided to another jaded laid back graded-euphoria.
    mercurial professor’s are to be dealt with like coloring books:
    pencil, shade, or hue until some animation appears in their given-puzzles.
    Now your the
    author
    of
    life!

  28. a fastidious entrepreneur , my hand creates gold upon anything I touch.
    belligerent; I am when It comes to failure.
    one loss, equals, a one-third of a win!
    Two pitchers snap their elbows during the first half,
    clearly,
    an auspicious sign of trainer-neglect.
    coach, put in the best players, when their at their best.
    your victory is there to attest.
    Once I found that my foot strides farther on a sidewalk
    I corroborated that I’m a team player
    Kobe needs his dynasty to become an emperor
    downgraded
    fuckit its Friday
    lets get faded!

  32. And down we went, respectively; a gradual descent into ecstasy. We gave in, resigned to be the foggy, fucked up fools we were. Who needs success when drugs exist?

  35. Citizens value
    of nation, not much to me
    as of the world be

    An upgrade can fail

    DOWNGRADE we may need

    upgrades as downgrades

  36. She looked at the card in her hand. She had thought that she was doing so well, collecting points from the various door to door campaigns. But she had gotten sick one day and couldn’t keep up. Her apartment got a downgrade, and when she returned home that night, the management had moved the room to the lower levels. She walked into the box and shuddered at the lack of windows and the lack of ventilation.

  39. Downgrading means progressively go back to last version. This word is mostly used in software but we keep using this for other places also.

  40. low life, dimish, look down upon someone. for me to downgrade is not a positive word. especially when it applies to human. sometimes though it can be a motive for self improvement. i would rather encourage than downgrade except when i no someone ho takes downgrading statement as a sign to push for greater height
