Get the Spoksey mug.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.

Get the spondalay mug.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.

Get the the spins mug.(FINANCE) an initial public offering of stock in a company by a private equity fund that already owns it.
ILLUSTRATION
Suppose we have a company, HCA, that currently a publicly traded corporation. Now, some people with a lot of money arrange to borrow even more money, buy ALL the stock in HCA, and then turn it into a private corporation. All of the shares of stock are withdrawn and the company no longer has to publish its financial data with the SEC.
In theory, the new ownership can totally restructure the management; invest in new assets; divest old assets; retrain staff; or otherwise refurbish HCA so it does its job better and more cheaply. After doing this, it sells the new HCA to the public for much more than it paid for it, and everyone comes out a winner.
In practice, PE fund raids HCA to the tune of $2.5 billion and saddles it with the gigantic finance costs of its own LBO. Investors think they're buying a set percentage of HCA when they buy shares, but they're really just extending the process of vacuuming cash from the pockets of investors.

MIKE: So I hear that KKR and Bain Capital are selling HCA back to the public. A new IPO, huh?
MARGARET: Avoid it. Ordinary IPO's by companies going public for the first time are doing much better.
MIKE: But that's crazy! It's a sponsored IPO! By KKR and Bain Capital! It's got to be good! They'll still own most of HCA afterward, so they'll do what it takes to make sure the price stays high.
MARGARET: No, they don't care what the share price does so long as they get your money out of you. In the meantime, they've looted the company in the most inefficient way possible: using an LBO financed with junk bonds.
MIKE: Ouch, I guess my head is glad I talked to you about it but my heart is a greasy stain in the pavement.
