A rather uncomfortable aeronautical maneuver. When in an airplane, if you fly too slow and the wing gets to the wrong angle in relation to the relative wind, you will stall. If the rudder is moved in the wrong way during that stall, the airplane will turn and go into a spin.
Part of a pilot's training is to learn how to get out of stalls and spins, as they can be deadly if not stopped.

Man, I'm gonna hurl. I did eight spins today and I'm really getting dizzy. Can we go do some other maneuver next time?

I'm going to spin a jib.

In Quantum Physics, spin is the intrinsic angular momentum associated to Elementary Particles. It is the quantum mechanical analogue of angular momentum.
Some guy : Yo g, can you tell me what people mean by "spin"?
Nerd : Oh it's just a thing elementary particles have. For example, Quark has a Spin of 1/2.
