Crazy Ivan was a Russian submarine manoeuvre in the Cold War, popularised in the The Hunt for Red October, in which a rogue Soviet sub-commander from Dundee would unexpectedly turn hard left[1] to clear his baffles iand find out if he was being followed.
The sudden, unexpected nature of the manoeuvre led to the term being popularised in the conference-calling world to denote the practice of maliciously taking another participant off mute into reveal her keyboard clatter and revealing to the world she has tuned out of the conference call and is sitting broadside and defenceless to such conference call ambush as anyone else on the call cares to mount.
A boss, but all the same dick, move.
