A derogatory name for a prison officer (screw, kanga etc) used by inmates in U.K Jails and prisons (predominantly used in Scotland)
Meant to imply they are nothing more than key turners, since they spend many hours unlocking and locking cell doors.

Get the a turned angel mug.Z-turn is from 折腾 (zheteng) in Chinese,it means "flip-flop", "get sidetracked", "sway back and forth", "dithering" and "major changes". The word was famously used by a Chinese leader in 2009 by saying "Bu Zheteng" in Chinese (Don't do zheteng, meaning don't get sidetracked). Online conversation between educated people tends to use "Z-turn" (pronunciation is close to zheteng) to replace zheteng to avoid censorship since the word was once used by a former Chinese leader.
Look, the Government is making a z-turn again.
It's just a z-turn.
Don't do a z-turn, it won't get you anywhere!
