Get the spining the bean mug.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."

"Fuck me, Bob's shinging again!" said I, to Shay, as Big Bob bellowed out the lyrics to Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water", as he does to every fucking song of every fucking genre! I continued, "He's fucking tone deaf, that cunt!"

Get the spinning mug.A troll, as seen on the pokemon boards at Gamefaqs, who gives crappy advice to people who ask for advice on movesets, like the following:
1: suggesting physical attack moves on pokemon whose attack stats suck and special attack moves on pokemon whose special attack sucks.
2. recommending horrible moves.
3: posting false information as fact. He cleverly gives well-written posts with bad advice to unsuspecting people who are not aware that he is a troll.
4: Ignores the advice from true pokemon fans who are veterans and experienced with pokemon. No matter how many times he is told otherwise, he will not listen to others when they point out the truth.
5. Thinks Gardevoir, a very feminine-looking pokemon, looks awful as a female.
In other words, if you see this person, DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM. He will ruin your team's movesets!

Get the shiningpikablu252 mug.What happens when you throw a grapefruit from a vehicle that is traveling 75+ mph. The grapefruit must roll when it hits the ground (as opposed to "splat", in which case you just smashed a grapefruit which any drunken monkey can do. congrats, you fail at life). The centrifugal force from the spinning causes the juice to push on the skin. After a few seconds of rolling the grapefruit will explode. Warning!!! Geting caught preforming the spinning grapefruit of doom has more dire consiquences than preforming a steaming teakettle on a unsuspecting victim. (charge: "launching a missle from a moving vehicle", possable felony)
"Dude, did you see that spinning grapefruit of doom take out that satanic bunny"
"Great aim, let's try a cantalope"
