Upside What

Why is it that something opposite is called “upside-down” but something that is normal is “upside-right”?

Shouldn’t the phrase for something normal be “upside-up”?

Either that or the phrase for something opposite should be “upside-wrong”.

We need the terms to match. Either up/down or right/wrong.

I’m going with “upside-up”.

Just like “heels over head”.

I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
