Also, is there an ICAO ATC phrase that implies 'turn the long way around'?
The phrase "Long way round" is in many aviation phraseology collations.

Normally, repeating 'left' twice is sufficient with emphasis on one of the left's is sufficient: "Left,
left, heading 180" -- this avoids the query: "XXX confirm left180?"
Adding 'the long way round' is also common for the same reason and just avoids the potential queries or worse a direct right turn despite saying "left". "Left,
left the long way round, heading 180"
