IMO if this really happens you can easily apply Rule 8 Sec.9-s (ISF Rules). I'm sorry I don't know how to say it in english, but this rule do not allow a runner to make a fool of the game (I know it sounds stupid in english but I cannot find other words . sorry)

Your translation conveyed the message - no worries. "Travesty of the game" is the phrase you were looking for, which means, it is done for ridicule (or to make a fool of the opposition), so you were close enough.
I've emphasized parts of strike4's posting where it indicates that is what he was describing - a runner who intentionally misses the bases so he can taunt the opposition by reversing to retouch. He could be declared out. (ASA Rule 8-3-D).
However, if it was inadvertant (or you weren't sure it was intended to make a travesty of the game), he may return to retouch so long as he touches each base properly (in both directions).
