Why would "tits up" imply they're dead? I've seen my share of
"tits up" and I'm pretty sure they weren't dead. Ummm..at least
I hope so. ; - )

What is the etymology of Tango Uniform?

I'm guessing "tails up" or "tits up" but anyone know for sure?


I always interpreted to mean "tits up," which implies a body lying on
its back dead.
