Why do people in southeast use these terms? What exactly does it refer to in reference to location?

If you keep going down da bayou you’ll end up in the gulf

Are you really that confused with basic principles of hydrology?

Bayou lafourche runs north/south. Up the bayou or down the bayou is ever changing depending on where you are. If you are in golden meadow, then galliano is up the bayou. If you are in larose, then galliano is down the bayou….. that being said, everything below the Intracoadtal canal is referred to as “DTB”… down the bayou, because in reference to the full Bayou lafourche, it’s on the southern end, hopefully that’s confusing enough.
I’m sure there are a hundred other versions of this in different areas, but this is the real version.

People used to talk that way about the Mississippi River.
Down the river or up the river.
You could talk that way about the creek. But nobody wants to be up the creek.

Being from down da bayou (Chauvin), Cocodrie is down da bayou, as was the Piggly Wiggly. Houma and Bourg were up da bayou. And if you were going to Houma, you were going to town. Also, Montegut was across the bayou as was part of Bourg.

Down the bayou

When going down Chauvin and looking for a particular place I wasn’t sure of I’d always ask, before the Pig or after the Pig. It’s a landmark!
The Piggly Wiggly still there, or did Rouses buy that too?
It’s been awhile since I’ve been down that way.

This is 100% accurate
However some may use Hwy 90 if you’re including Thibodaux

I was talking to a girl on Tinder from Houma years ago. I said "oh youre from down da bayou".
She got offended and said that it normally meant that you were poor or trashy
