brainspin 

a general term to describe when your brain is engaged, but you aren't getting anywhere.

a) where you can't make a decision ... usually because there is too much information to process

b) where you can't even get a grip on a problem because it is beyond the scope of your brain.
Diane - I slept like crap last night.

Mike - Oh? Too bad. Was it from gut rot from that jalepeno shrimp or brainspin from your BCP exercises at work??

Diane - Definitely brainspin. I just can't get a handle on the whole BCP thing. It is sooooo complicated.

Mike - Why don't you just past it off to your boss? Let him handle it?

Diane - Are you kidding!?!? He's such a PHB, he tries to divide by zero. This would brainspin his head right off his shoulders.

brainspike 

Verb: the act of watching a particular series (usually but not always anime) of episodes or movies in a row.
(especially the ENTIRE series at once)
Noun: the series to be watched.

Originated from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It was created as a more polite/useable form of mindfuck (which means the same thing) by the local university's anime organization. Apparently watching many hours of anime episodes straight does something to you in the head.
Verb: Remember when we brainspiked Eva last month?

Noun: The brainspike starts at 6 and ends four days later.
