Come in, spinner

An early Australianism (circa early 20th century), said during moments of anxious expectation, generally after the commencement of moments of chance, for example awaiting imminent news; the results of a sports match, or an attempted task with an unknown, random result.

Historically the phrase entered the vernacular in the first half of the 20th century, coined during betting matches of 'two-up', but the etymology may stem from roulette.

During a dice roll, while still shaking the dice: "Come in, spinner!"

Spinmove

Walk toward a pedestrian who is walking in the opposite direction as you are, and go out of your way to intercept their path. Right before impact, execute a 360 degree rotation around them and continue walking behind them normally without breaking pace. DO NOT LOOK BACK. (best done with two or more people; one to execute the move and one to catch the reaction.) Spin moving is recognized as one of the foremost forms of recreational activity at Xavier High School.

"Yo, son, look at that guy walkin down the street! You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"

"Helllll yeah! Let's go spinmove that sucka!"
