Shame Spiral

The internal spiraling (rifling) on the inside of the new Miller Lite bottles. Also a metaphor for your life after drinking a lot of Miller Lites.
Man, that shame spiral fired those beers down my gullet even faster that shotgunning, now my life is a shitty mess.

Spiral out

I believe the song Lateralus is about being at the crossroads of a cluster b personality disorder. There are two choices, get treatment and keep going or spiral out (of control) and end the suffering. Spiral, keep going., spiral out, keeping. It an inner battle, a constant tug of war. Black then white is all I see; that called splitting, red then yellow is anger and happiness; which can come and go all inside an hour or a minute. Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind; that's about dissociation, a maladaptive coping mechanism to cope with trauma.

Shiralee Grayscale

The fashion crime of wearing two or more clothing items coloured grayscale a the same time. This could be a grayscale top and matching grayscale pants together.
Hey, check it out, that girl over there is wearing grey sweat pants with a grey denim jacket- and oh no... is she wearing a grey headband too! Dear oh dear, she's attempted the Shiralee Grayscale.

norwegian spiral

An image or video which is so out-there that many, if not most, assume that it is fake, i.e. photoshopped.

Named for the spiral anomaly that appeared in the morning sky December 9, 2009 in northern Norway that lead to a myriad of claims that it was fake. It turned out to be a failed rocket launch.
OMG look at this picture of a brave woman flying on a rocket chair, oh it's gotta be photoshopped.

Nah, man, That's real for sure, I took that picture myself, it's just a norwegian spiral, dude.

Purity Spiral

A phenomenon within an ideological group wherein member's of the group consolidate power or gain recognition by dejecting or disavowing lesser ideologically devoted members.
Things were going great at the meetings until Karen decided to accuse Stan of not doing enough for the cause. That's where the purity spiral began. Now hardly anyone goes to the meetings or rallies.
