referring to the breakout season that Jeremy Lin had, people start using "Lin" for every word that starts with "in", including winning to "linning."

A take on the word insanity by incorporating the word "Lin". This is in reference to the NBA player Jeremy Lin - who went from a bench warmer into one of the most exciting phenomenon in NBA history. It all began on 02/04/2012 when Lin led the knicks in a win against the New Jersey Nets. Within one week from 02/04/12-02/12/14 they won 5 straight games and Lin has averaged more than 26 points per game with impressive assists.
OMG this is total LINsanity, Jeremy Lin just scored 38 points against the Lakers and led the Knicks to victory!

When a seemingly average, unspectacular person suddenly erupts with success and develops a ridiculous cult-like following.
Rick: You gotta check out sportscenter. This guy who was cut by his old team just ripped off 20 points and 10 assists 4 games in a row! They say he's the best pg in the league!
Tom: How are you already wearing a t-shirt with that guy's face on it?
Rick: Apparently his tears can even cure cancer!!
Tom: Sounds like linsanity to me...
