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.

fidget spinner

A toy meant to help people relieve stress and improve focus first available in the 90's. It was created to capitalize on individuals with ADHD, autism, or anxiety; it became highly popular in 2017, though the fidget spinner is heading toward obsolescence, as people are finally realizing how antithetical it is. Many schools have banned fidget spinners for being distracting.

Midget Spinner

Ok, so a Midget Spinner is no different than any Fidget Spinner; except the fact that instead of the Y-shaped device attached to it, now it's a Midget. And it spins around at an insane speed, rendering all the achievements which human have accomplished to this day as less important than it.

Nah.. Midget Spinner is a midget spinning around at an astounding speed that breaks the sound barrier.

Spinners

Rims that gain and keep momentum after a vehicle is stopped. It could be argued that the owner of the rims lives a rather hedonistic lifestyle.
In the song "Pimpin all over the world" by Ludacris, we are informed that if your spinning rims are spinning counter clockwise-then you are not pimpin.

"Those spinners look mighty fresh, son."
