It's part of the pre-take off check on the DC-3T.
We check the "four" corners up to their stop (plus rudders)
When the correct aileron goes up, pilot sitting on its side call "I'm up" the other one "I'm down" and vice-versa... Nothing related with Viagra's effectiveness

We also call each trim setting religiously.




And tail wheel lock...
