Re: sunny side up or down In addition to trustM's advice, sunny-side refers to the yolk, the yellow part of the egg--the yolk is the same shape and color as the sun, so "sunny". If the yolk is facing up, the egg is called sunny-side up, and if the yolk is not facing up, if it's hidden, turned over, facing down, then the egg is called sunny-side down. If you flip a sunny-side egg over you get a sunny-side down egg.
Hope that helps.
