spin doctor

An operative who uses his platform to influence the perception of a person, organization, or event. Like a damage-control PR person.

Most often this is in the political context, usually conservative, with the spin doctor masquerading as a journalist or "expert in the field" to lend credibility to what's actually just a PR line cooked up by the right-wing.

After "Deep Throat" finally revealed himself as W. Mark Felt in May, 2005, a parade of spin doctors, old Nixon cronies and convicted Watergate felons appeared in the media, trying to tarnish Felt in any way they could, to distract from and lessen in the public's mind the enormity of the crimes they'd committed 30 years ago.

spin the bottle

A game, usually played with a group of men and women, perhaps in addition to or after drinking, that involves spinning a bottle in turn, and the person who the bottle stops spinning on must kiss the person who spun it. NGK (No Guy Kissing) rules should be applied at all times. If the bottle happens to stop on a guy when a guy spun it, the girl nearest to the stopped bottle must kiss the guy who spun it. Rules against girl-on-girl kissing are unheard of and against nature. Spin the cell phone is a modern variation on the game.

"Hey, now that we're all drunk, let's play spin the bottle!"
