Arachne

A Greek maiden whose weaving ability was the marvel of the ancient world. When Athena heard about it she challenged Arachne to a contest. When the girl's tapestry was the equal to the goddess', she became angry and tore Arachne's weaving to shreds. The girl became terrified of what Athena might do and hanged herself. Athena became regretful of her actions and turned Arachne into a spider, so that she might weave all that she wished.

Arachne was a weaving wonder.l

Arachnoleptic Shock

The fit your body goes into after having discovered you are walking through a spider web, instantly turning you into a ninja with the ability to scream higher than Mariah Carey.

Erika went into Arachnoleptic Shock whilst walking through the trees, shrieking and flinging her arms around like Samurai swords to ward off sneaky spiders.

Steve: "Is Erika fucking breakdancing?

Erika: "EEEeeeeeeeek! Spiders attacking!"

Amanda: "Nooo, she's in Arachnoleptic Shock, fucking spider webs sneak up on you!"

Spider: "Scream louder bitch!"

Arachnoleptic Fit

An arachnoleptic fit is the little dance you do when you walk through a spider web as you try to get it off of you. Often used as a verb or a noun. Can also be used to express distress in seeing a spider.

Darn, I'm just might have an arachnoleptic fit if I see that spider one more time.

Person 1:Is there something wrong with them?
Person 2:Nah, they're just having an arachnoleptic fit.

Not here to fornicate with arachnids

A more nuanced take on ‘not here to fuck spiders’. A classic Australianism expressing that things of little consequence or excessive moderation are not worthy to be undertaken.

Further context, similar to ‘having bigger fish to fry’.

“Hey Ellis, last drinks just got called. Pint of pale and mezcal chaser?” says Toph.
“Not here to fornicate with arachnids.” he replies in support of the offer.
