I've used 'do a one-eighty' for aircraft on the ground for years. Never had a problem and I don't recall a situation where the pilot (of any nationality) didn't understand what I meant. No there's no standard phrase for it but then there's no standard phrase for lots of things - then we use plain language. It's certainly easier for English speaking States but I wouldn't like to see a phraseology book that tried to tell me what to say in every conceivable situation - I thought they still paid me to exercise professional judgement occasionally! The day I have to root root through a book to check what I've got to say next I'll retire.
