The term Down Under is a colloquialism referring to all things Australian, which is known as "the land Down Under" for its position in the southern hemisphere.
Despite the term's wide usage, it is rarely used by Australians themselves, many of whom regard it with some derision. Nevertheless, Australians are not above using it themselves, as exemplified by Men at Work song "Down Under" which has become a patriotic rallying song. Australia's most famous boxing champion, Kostya Tszyu, was nicknamed as "The Thunder From Down Under".
