Famous Sayings: #86 — ‘Down to Earth’

November 3, 2017

I like her because she’s down to earth.

Jo from the Facts of Life was a pretty down-to-earth character, even if she was rough around the edges at first. Image from a screenshot.

Whenever I heard the phrase “down to earth,” I usually associated it with Jo Polniaczek from Facts of Life. When she was first introduced, she was a rough-around-the-edges tomboy, but she was plain-spoken and honest. And although she softened a bit as she got older, she was always relatable and likeable.
