Although I am not seeming able to actually get any work done this week after work. I have done precisely nothing other than eat then sleep the last two nights. A very poor show... at this rate Plan B will complete shortly after Hell freezes over.
I'm not really sure where that came from but I suspect it's derived from the anthropomorphism of Diptera. For many years prior to the use of the term "tits up" the "dying fly" was a frequently made move in popular dance establishments. Said move involved lying on ones back and waving ones legs in the air. Obviously your tits would be up so I contend, m'lud, that is where the expression came from.
Tits down is just kinky IMHO.
I made all of this up btw. It's supposed to come from WW2. When planes got shot down and turned on their backs the marker in the horizon indicator (a W shape) would become an M. Fnaar, fnaar.
Actually that sounds like bollocks too.
Possibly just a ruder version of Belly Up, which as been around for a lot longer and is a reference to the way dead fish float on the surface.
