To pass a beer between a group of people (could also be 2 people), Primarily a 40 ounce or a Sidewalk Slam (see Sidewalk Slam) but it could really be any beverage including non-alcoholic. The people enjoying this beverage usually sit in a circle, take a swill and pass the beer to the next person in the circle therefore making the beer "spin" in a circle. Taking more then one swill is considered bad etiquette and depending on who you are with doing so could get you in some trouble. This term is Primarily used by punks, squatters, travelers and I guess unfortunately dirty hippies. Bill: all I got is 75 cents
John: same here... Tim: well I got a buck Bill: lets get a 40 and spin that shit! John and Tim: fuck yeah! Bill: hey man what did you do yesterday? John: not much man, just sat at Tims house and spun some beers John: yo Tim where you at? Tim: Sittin in the woods with mad heads spinnin' some beers man. |

To present an incident in a particularly slanted or biased manner. Originated from the game of pool, wherein if one shoots the ball from the side to put “spin” on the ball, it will go into the desired hole. To properly “Spin” a story, one should employ a “Spin Doctor”.
“Spin Doctors” are frequently used by politicians to help write a slanted story which presents a “fact” in a far different way than most people would see it, had it been told directly and honestly. Arnold Schwarzenegger hired spin doctors to write a response to the accusation that he groped women.
