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.
