Reminds me of the mess that occurred when a coworker (retired military)
described a project as "tits up".

Of course, I now notice in the Entourage dictionary "tit (2)" but no "tit
(1)" which rather indicates that the more common definition of the word was
apparently removed...

A brief further investigation also shows a "boob (2)"...and a few others.

My dictionary has been abridged! :-(
