reversal
The word "reversal" is most commonly used in formal contexts, such as law, finance, or official reports. When talking about a person's luck or success, it is often paired with the word "fortune" (e.g., "a reversal of fortune"). In legal settings, it specifically refers to a higher court canceling the decision of a lower court.

David is using 'reversal' to describe a change in a legal/policy decision (Definition 2). Leo responds with Gen-Z slang: 'mid' (mediocre/boring) and 'tweaking' (acting crazy or overreacting), highlighting the generational gap and Leo's cynicism toward his father's interests.
