To turn up in a classy way. (i.e., drinking wine - not moscato). Must speak properly and be sophisticated. Cannot act ratchet or sloppy.

by telling everyone fans turning, you are blowing a phat vape cloud into the mic and telling people it is just your fan that is turning.

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!
