"heads up" lingo did not originated in the term people use now. Heads up were a lingo back in the 1870s when the word litterally meant " beware of the front" as in a war lingo( as in heads up and aim). Now days people are stupid. Just like many lingos changes, maybe some day "google it" will mean something totally opposite.

Because you have to look up at what is about to hit you or fall on you in order to know which way to duck, or to move

It originated back in the King Henry VIII when he beheaded all of his wives. The beheader would say, before pulling down the gillotein "heads up" for the lady to brace for it. Then her head would fall off, blood would be everywhere, and women and children would cry. Is that a good enough response for you?

Because they secretly want to see you get nailed in the head with a flying object.
