Define Tailspin Meaning

Tailspin
(n) Occurs when one:

a. exaggerates a situation to an extreme level and reacts to it in dramatic fashion

b. flies off the handle for the slightest of inconveniences caused by another person or a situation that is out of the control of any one individual

c. exhibits emotion in response to a stimulus that is wildly disproportionate with the level of reaction warranted by said stimulus

d. expresses particularly strong anger, frustration, and/or panic in the face of everyday life events and takes these emotions out on targeted individuals and/or random bystanders, which negatively impacts the lives of these people who subsequently come to believe that the person is fucking insane

Holy shit... My boss went into another tailspin today This time it was because I changed a few words in her document before sending it back to her. BUT SHE ASKED ME TO CONTENT EDIT THE DAMN DOCUMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE! She sent me a 1,000 word email to me saying how much I "messed up" by changing a few words, and then she called me down to her office to berate me face-to-face! Woman is insane.

Today my boyfriend locked his keys in his car. He tried to call me to bring him a spare set, but I had my phone on vibrate and didn't see that he called until about an hour later. Holy shit... that mofo went into a complete tailspin when he got home, and bitched me out for literally HOURS about how he can't count on me for anything... blah blah blah. AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED! What a fuckin' nut job!

11th Floor Tailspin
When two people involved in a workplace or office affair meet on the top floor of their building for a brief, but much needed, desired, and illicit midday liaison. The very top floor of many office buildings (or a portion of it) is typically not used by tenants and is reserved for the elevator machine room. It is usually only accessible by an unknown staircase, and makes a perfect hideaway for a secret office romance.

Jill: How about we take an 11th floor tailspin for lunch?

Jack: Sounds like a plan. Meet you at the stairs.

Jill: It's so dangerous! I love it!
