When a person completely and suddenly, and often shockingly, goes from bad to good. The term came from professional wrestling to refer when a heel(bad guy) becomes a face(good guy) and the crowd cheers for him.
Dude did you see that wrestler's face turn yesterday?

n. Muffling out an interlocutor by slowly - yet unexpectedly - turning away their cranium with the palm of your hand. Can be construed as either playful or patently insolent by the receiving end.
Randy: You're boring me.

Dina: What just happened?
Randy: It's called face-turning, toots. Deal with it.

When a character who was previously an antagonist becomes a protagonist.
The villain's heel-face turn was so sudden, one minute he was plotting world domination, the next he was baking cookies for orphans."
