When you have drank/smoked too much, to the point the room feels like it's spinning, or YOU feel like you are spinning.
You need to be SITTING/LYING DOWN OR RESTING for the spins definition to be met.
If you are standing up/dancing/active and the room is going sideways while trying to walk, that would mean you are pissed.
Throwing up will cure the spins. It is also possible to wake up with the spins if you do not throw up.

You got back home after drinking and laid on your back in your bed. You roll over on your side, but you feel like you are still spinning over and over in circles. You then lay on your back again to minimize the spins and stare up at the ceiling and it feels like the room is traveling.

When you're totally trashed and the entire world starts whirling around you, often going faster and faster.
Beware, 8 times out of 10 means that heaving your guts out will happen in the near future, so get near a bathroom/trashcan/garbage bag.
To help them go away, stand up if you're sitting down, pick an object a little ways away, concentrate on it, count to 20, close your eyes, see if the spins are still there, then open your eyes and repeat if they are.
Often goes hand in hand with vodka.

To be transfixed on a relatively insignificant thought or event and unhealthily or unnecessarily dwelling on it attaching a more elaborate meaning and emotion to it.
The trigger often seems trivial to others but to the person who is "spinning" it becomes connected to their personal prevailing emotions, past experiences, and/or unresolved trauma/pathology.
May include but not exclusive to:
1. imagining/playing out elaborate future scenarios, radical actions, and/or conversations;
2. questioning any past or present experiences, activities, and/or relationships;
Possible origins:
Like how a textile worker can get a seemingly small piece or bundle of fiber and "spin" it into a long thread by combining it with others.
Or how a spider can "spin" an elaborate web by connecting many threads together.

1. After hearing that someone you know insulted your character, you make an elaborate plan to confront them and you think of all the things you've done that contests what they said. In addition you question your own relationship and past experiences with that person and build them up to be an antagonist. Only to have them immediately apologize and quickly explain that it was a misunderstanding.
2. Like in the movie "He's Just Not That Into You", questioning the fairly straightforward actions of others and excusing or making them out to mean something else by constructing elaborate scenarios
3. Girl: "We hang out almost everyday but he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend."
Friend: "Didn't he say he wasn't interested and just wanted to be friends?"
Girl: "Yeah, but I think it was just because he had a bad experience with his last girlfriend and that he didn't get to know me yet."
Friend: "He's not interested though."
Girl: "But we spend so much time together, what if he does want to have a relationship but he just doesn't know how to ask?"
Friend: "You're spinning. If he says he isn't interested then he isn't interested."

I'd go to the party but Phil the spin is there. More than likely we'll get the cops called on us, AGAIN.
