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.

Z-Turn

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!

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."

when i join plane crazy is look I have shredders but I did not turned it on

"The joyous declaration of a newbie in Plane Crazy, proudly showcasing their latest in-game gadgetry, albeit with a charming disregard for grammatical conventions"
-Someone in Plane Crazy Community

Every time a new player zooms past me without firing a single shot, I'm reminded of the classic 'When I join Plane Crazy is look I have shredders but I did not turned it on' moment."
