Jughandle. Which is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jughandle

It's a pretty common term in New England, but when I moved to PA, people really didn't know what I was talking about. However, now that I live in New Jersey, where left turns are literally unheard of, everyone knows what I'm talking about again. Well, most people anyway..

Yeah, apparently it's weird in Texas...

And speaking of jughandles, I definitely get tired of explaining Michigan Lefts when I reference them (or point out the new one in front of my house in Texas). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Left

ETA: Oh hey! Speaking of my house:

The city of Plano will be the first city in Texas to utilize a median U-turn in the summer of 2010 at the intersection of Preston Road and Legacy Drive.[6]
