Downing
Prime minister's street
Downing appears most often as a surname, notably in Downing Street—the London address housing the British Prime Minister's residence, which by metonymy refers to the PM or the government itself: Downing Street issued a statement.
As a common noun, downing is the act of bringing something down or consuming quickly: the downing of a helicopter, the downing of three beers in rapid succession.
