“How the turn tables have turned” is the correct version of the widely known “how the tables have turned” saying. How are the tables going to turn if they cannot do so? The only logical conclusion to this oxymoron is that we are dealing with a turn table not a normalsquare or round table, no a table that’s meant to be turned a “turn table”. Please do the English language a favor and correct anybody using the incorrect and frankly racist alternative that’s so popular with gen Z

Uncle Jim the turntables have turned instead of you diddlin ME I’m gonna be diddlin YOU
Really the uses for this beautiful saying are endless: Ta Ta retards
