Feeling of dizziness, with “the”
Answer:
… SPINS
Hint:
This sensation might hit you after twirling around too quickly or stepping off a merry-go-round. Think of what a top does when it’s in motion.
Explanation:
This clue plays on the phrase "the spins," which is a casual way to describe that dizzy, unsteady feeling you get after spinning around too fast or drinking too much. The word "spins" itself also hints at the literal action of turning, reinforcing the idea of dizziness. By adding "with 'the'," the clue nudges you toward the full idiomatic expression rather than just the standalone word.
