if you grab the compressor wheel on a turbo (engine off, and cold) and move the wheel (which is on the shaft) side to side and in/out if it moves this is called "play" if it moves too much this is excessive play and means your turbo is worn

Yes, as boost pixie said, either of one is bad. But mainly in and out shaft play is the worst.
