"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."

Z-Turn

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!
