Why do you say "It's down right wrong"?
What's that supposed to mean?

Actually it's a single word: "downright", as in "directly downwards". I suppose the idea is that "it" is going directly down and nowhere else. It means "thoroughly", but you use it negatively, eg. downright shameful, downright wrong, downright awful.
Apparently this expression is about 900 years old (Old English: "dunrihte", downwards).

It's completely wrong / 100% wrong. There is no justifying it.
"down right" is very informal.
