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

Are you really that confused with basic principles of hydrology?

There are only 3 directions down there, baw. Up da bayou, down da bayou, and across da bayou.

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.

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

In Louisiana. The Bayou is typically Bayou Lafourche. Anybody south of you is down tha bayou.

Being from DTB in Larose and living in south Cut Off I agree with the four directions but add two more.
The front and the back.
The front is near the bayou and the back is toward the 40 arpent (acre) canal back in the day or these days the hurricane levee.
This is why the 4 lane highway LA 3235 from Larose to Golden Meadow is called the “back road”
