fishtailing, where the vehicle yaws back and forth across the direction of motion. spin or spinout where a vehicle rotates in one direction during the skid. understeer and oversteer where front or rear wheels lose traction during cornering, causing a vehicle to follow a larger or smaller turning radius.
Fishtailing is a vehicle handling problem which occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteer. This can be caused by low- friction surfaces (sand, gravel, rain, snow, ice, etc.). Rear-drive vehicles with sufficient power can induce this loss of traction on any surface, which is called power-oversteer .
This is what is happening when a car 'spins out'. A car susceptible to being loose is sometimes known as 'tail happy', as in the way a dog wags its tail when happy and a common problem is fishtailing. In real-world driving, there are continuous changes in speed, acceleration (vehicle braking or accelerating), steering angle, etc.

When a trailer skids to one side, this is known as a trailer swing or trailer slew.This can occur on a slippery road surface, often where there is a cant.This is not the same as jackknifing and is not as serious, as the trailer will move back into line as the vehicle continues forwards.
The trick is to unwind the wheel *before* the car straightens out (or even apply 'counter-counter steering'): to do this right a driver needs to have some prior practice, I don't think it can be done by someone who did not experience this situation before unless they have a *lot* of luck. Also: fishtail occurs in all cars, not just RWD ones.
