tables the turn

A term which means to have the your power over someone flipped for you to become the powerless. This is humorous variation of "turn the tables" made to subvert expectation by flipping the order of words around, creating an absurdly worded sentence. Alternatively, the past tense of this phrase is "the turns have tabled"

I had enough of bossing me around, now it is me that tables the turn.

Wave turn

A wave turn is a roller coaster element in which the track starts with a banking around of around 60 degrees, it then banks to 90 degrees and then goes in to a sideways airtime hill, before banking back to around 60 degrees. This element is called a wave turn due to it's wave-like shape and it is not featured on the Bolliger&Mabillard hyper coaster, known as Mako at SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida.

Mako doesn't have a wave turn.
