Yep @Catch71 @Kachina624 "down the shore" is a Jersey/Philly thing.

"Down the shore" and "underneath of it" are like apples and oranges.  Two different things; one is a regional expression and the other is a grammatical error.

Exactly - 'underneath of it' is poor English, sounding uneducated.

Regional turns of phrase are just that - turns of phrase. There's nothing wrong about that, even if the phrase is not gramiticly correct. Anyway, I would not hold a home shopping host to the same standard as a news anchor. Show hosts are supposed to be folksy. It's part of the sell.

[missywings]

That's what we say if you're from Baltimore! going "downy oshun, hun!"

Lots of expressions are local and they grew up with them.  I am not offended by them and or I really don't care what they say.  It is who they are.  

In our area, that was once rural the expression was DOWN THE ROAD, meaning going anywhere else to shop or to get entertainment or simply to work.  I miss it since that expression is long gone.
