Up here for thinking, down there for dancing
Heard in Tipperary
Usually said after saying something smart or intelligent. A longer version of the sentence is 'Up here for thinking, down there for dancing, out there for shaking and down here for making' Usually one would point to their head then feet for the shortened sentence. If lengthened one should then shake their hands and then point to their mid section while saying the last two things.

Tom: However are we to pass the examination? John: We shall write the answers upon our hands. It is perfectly simple, old chap. Up here for thinking, down there for dancing.
