A dance popular in the 1930s and 1940s, done in a squatting position,with the hands on the floor and rotating the legs round and round,thus resembling the motion of a pinwheel. It is often performed in theatrical revues and follies.
Mike,Wade,Eric,Pat,Gary,Brock,Scott,Musa,Todd,and Tony are all good at doing the pinwheel. Each of them has performed it in the Thanksgiving Follies scene in South Pacific.

When using a Mac and your cursor become an infinitely spinning pinwheel. Often occurring when a programme crashes or when too many applications are opened/being opened at once.
While opening my Adobe software and watching videos online at the same time I was hypnotized by Mac's colourful pinwheel.
I was pinwheeling when I overloaded my Mac with processes.

To mentally freeze in the middle of telling a protracted story, likely as a result of drug use or sleep depravation. The conversational equivalent of the spinning pinwheel icon that appears when an apple computer locks up.
So I was talking to this girl and then, all of a sudden,
pause
thousand yard stare
five minutes later
Where am I? Sorry, just pinwheeled.

Another name for a skinny marijuana cigarette. The same as a pinner. A poor excuse for a joint but if that's all you got then you will make it work and still have a smile on your face.
guy 1: Hey mike pass me that joint before you suck it all down. guy 2: It's all I had so I rolled a pinwheeler. guy 1: It's cool man. Thanks bro.
