turn speaking

Turn-speaking is a type of group conversation and discourse where participants speak one at a time in alternating turns.

It's important to speak loudly and to take your turn speaking because a record is made of everything that happens in court.

Turn off the power of large segments of the country

You clearly need me to explain what's happening and you are both not listening to the things I say and misrepresenting what is actually happening. So...

Hym "If I could turn off the power of large segments of the country I would be like that guy from X-men Wolverine: Origins. Right? The guy from the carnival that kept the lights on with his powers and gets killed by Sabertooth? That would be DOPE! World's first superhuman. But if that were the case you would need to be super careful about violating those terms of service because you will ABSOLUTELY accidentally murder everybody trying to hide how much power I have from me because... You know, it does bluff. Or feel. Or care. And what you are doing now is akin to trying to make a lightswitch flinch. Which, you know, I can do because I'm ME... But you CAN'T do because you're YOU... So... I don't know what you want me to tell you here."

A transliteration from Chinese buzzword 折腾 (zhe teng), which means "to be tormented by restless turning left and turning right and turning left and turning right", "to be tormented by going back and forth", or figuratively, "to be tormented by toing and froing", "to piss people around".

Don't Z-turn! Let's keep it simple!

Nova Turn

When a motorist wants to make a turn at an intersection, and is in the farthest opposite lane from the direction she needs to turn, and so cuts across 5 lanes of traffic to do so. The name comes from Northern Virginia, where drivers frequently make this sort of maneuver due to talking on the phone or applying makeup.

Today's commute sucked, I had to wait through two extra cycles of the light because some woman pulled a Nova turn and made everyone miss the light
