(Internet slang, jocular, uncommon, ambitransitive) To be upside down; to flip (something) upside down.

Origin: From the sandbox video game Minecraft, in which applying a name tag to a mob (game entity) with the custom name Dinnerbone turns that entity upside down. This feature is a reference to Nathan 'Dinnerbone' Adams, a Minecraft developer, who commonly displays himself and his online avatars upside down as a signature trope. Adams' username is a tribute to the name of a former online friend, Teabone, perhaps related to T-bone. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
