Centrifugal cruelty disguised as fun, spinning you until breakfast files a formal complaint.

means A carnival or amusement-park ride whose seats or cars rotate freely, so riders spin on their own axis while the whole structure also turns or sways.

from A plain compound of "spinner" (one who or that which spins, from Old English "spinnan," to draw out and twist fibers — the same root behind spinning wheels and spinning tops) and "ride," in its fairground sense of a mechanical amusement. The word "spin" itself, with cousins across the Germanic languages, originally belonged to the slow craft of thread-making before it spun off into every kind of fast rotation; calling a ride a "spinner" simply borrows that twirling motion and bolts it to a seat.
