Scrub Turn

When someone who was previously going places drops their ambitions, often in favor of fitting in with a lower-achieving social circle.

Synonyms: To fall off, to lose one's edge

Etymology: From the pro wrestling term "heel turn" except instead of becoming a heel (villain), the person in question becomes a scrub (underachiever)

Diego got into a great university, but he took a scrub turn and centered his life mainly around drinking and playing video games with his buddies. Now a year after graduating college, he seems less talented than he was back in high school.

There's a lot of pressure to turn scrub, but you only get one life to make your dreams come true.

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.
