Luke asked:

...

 If the 1s and the 2s cross? I'd be inclined towards anti-proper or
 maybe improper-indecent (a mouthful). This was the question that
 prompted the query.

So from the stage, all the men are on the left and all the ladies on the
right? In keeping with the improper and indecent themes, I've heard this
formation referred to as "downright scandalous." But it may have been more
for the schtick than the etymology.

For the good are always the merry,
Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle
And the merry love to dance. ~ William Butler Yeats
