Common foot fetishist slang that's used when someone lies down on their belly with their feet up in the air. This kind of pose is common when someone lies on a flat surface (commonly a bed) and can't keep their legs straight, so they bend them up in the air, making feet and especially: their soles, visible above the head/butt. Since this situation is fairly common, so, fetishists are often in the outlook for photos like this. Urban Dictionary
