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 you upside down

When an authority figure such as an army captain or schoolteacher threatens to punish you by bending down, grabbing your ankles from behind, lifting you into the air and shoving his dick in your mouth

"Man, my PE teacher was so mad at you yesterday he threatened to turn you upside down!"

TV Turned Off

The TV (abbreviation for Television) is a metaphor for the persons life. To turn someone’s TV off is to end their life. Or if someone almost got their TV turned off, they almost lost their life. It could be a literal loss of life, or a hyperbolic loss of life.

1.) My mom is going to turn my TV off if I don’t pass this test tomorrow.
2.) I almost got my TV turned off yesterday when that drunk driver almost ran into me. Luckily the police pulled him over in time before anyone got hurt.

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!
