zigzaggers
Sharp angle movers
People or things that zigzag—move in a pattern of sharp alternating turns.
A zigzagger might be a skier cutting across a slope, a running back evading tacklers, or someone who can't walk a straight line: The zigzaggers on the dance floor made it hard to cross the room.
The word can also describe someone whose opinions or loyalties shift unpredictably.
