tombstoned
Entered water upright
Tombstoned describes something positioned upright like a tombstone, particularly in publishing where an image or text block stands vertically in an awkward or unbalanced way: The photo was tombstoned at the top of the page.
In newspaper layout, tombstoned headlines sit side by side, creating visual confusion.
In finance, a tombstoned deal has been memorialized in a formal announcement ad.
The word also appears in extreme sports for a wipeout where a surfboard or skateboard sticks straight up.
