You can spell the word “upside down” by using other letters of the alphabet: umop apisdn

When one says, "crisp," the sounds begin at the rear of the mouth and end at the lips in a linear progression.

Aren't you all just thrilled to know this stuff?

"Low-down" can mean despicable but this brings a whole new meaning to it

Not quite; the places of articulation are velar, retroflex, palatal (if vowels have a place of articulation), alveolar, labial. The second and third are mixed up.

Just to nitpick, some of the same letters are used in each example, the ones that look similar upside down or right side up: s, o and i.

Go to a search engine and enter, "upside down text." You'll find several sites that flip text.

Unicode has turned versions of Latin letters. Some of them are used in the IPA.
