Skewed tilt on shoe mount flashes



If this is obvious sorry, but...

I have noticed folks using the shoe-mount flashes with a skewed tilt.
Usually, when you point the head up, it is for bounce flash, or when
you just need a little catch light only, it is nice to angle it up with
a business card to throw just a wee bit of light....

But I see people with the flash up at an angle (say 45 or 60 degrees),
but with the flash head turned slightly (usually to the left) - as if
you'd want something bounced partially off a ceiling and partially off
a side wall......but they seem to use the flash in this position even
outdoors. What's up with that?

Now that I think about it, I see people using flash with a diffuser
with the flash head pointed backwards too. What's up there?
