The engineering term is "back drive" or "back driven." Reversible is when someone routes the cables around a pulley the wrong way or mis-connects a couple of wires in the side stick and push left makes the ailerons, for example, go right. I pick on ailerons as that is the only control reversal due to mis-installation that I am aware of. Aerodynamic reversal is a separate topic.
Chesty - that is a mental picture I did not want. It cost nothing to not write that.
There is probably some wise acre who used this on a pilot during training. "Lean way down and check to see if the rudder pedals move" while grabbing an aileron and giving it a swift jerk.
