From The Official Website of the Monarchy:
 
The term 'Union Jack' possibly dates from Queen Anne's time (r. 1702-14), but its origin is uncertain.

It may come from the 'jack-et' of the English or Scottish soldiers, or from the name of James I who originated the first union in 1603.

Another alternative is that the name may be derived from a proclamation by Charles II that the Union Flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit; the term 'jack' once meant small.

I sometimes accidentally fly my Bonnie Blue upside down... I just say DOH! and turn it over.

How would Americans feel if their flag was flown upside down?
 
 
Very angry; then we'd attack the country responsible, set up a puppet regime and have a military base there for decades.
