A versatile piece of informal English with several distinct meanings depending on context. In party or drinking culture, to knock down means to drink heavily or get the party started. In street slang, particularly in hustling or underground economy contexts, it means to earn or acquire cash — sometimes through shady means. It also carries the literal sense of striking or colliding with something. The drinking and money-earning senses are the most alive in modern slang usage.
