When driving a vehicle, the act of swinging into the next lane to turn the opposite way. Usually, it's going partly to your left to make a right turn.

When you are on a two lane two way road and realize that you missed a left turn so you make a U turn and go diagonally to it. But then you realize its the wrong one and it’s actually ahead so you make another U turn. Then you move left to get on the correct side again.
Person 1: I had to make a 8 turn today and now I feel stupid.
Person 2: You feel stupid? I made a Z turn because I didn’t notice the side I was on was under construction. I didn’t even finish the turn after the diagonal… I had to get my car towed AND fixed!

An e-turn is used when driving in the snow (usually while attempting a u-turn) and you pull your emergency brake to turn your car without having to put it in the reverse gear.
Pat: Dude! did you see that e-turn Jim just pulled off?
Darryl: That was insane! But I can't tell if that's cool or just plain laziness...

Oh hey Jackson, do you wanna help me with this U-Turn?
I'm exploring my sexuality, so I'm going to U-Turn myself.

Used humorously to describe a situation that started normal, fun, or chill (like a BBQ with friends), but suddenly went totally out of control, chaotic, or unexpectedly sexual. It plays on the rhyme between cookout (grill party) and cock-out (slang for male genitals being exposed).
"We thought it would just be burgers and beer, but after midnight… it turned from a cookout into a cock-out."
"The meeting was fine at first, but when everyone started shouting, it turned from a cookout into a cock-out."
