dizziest
Spinning the most
Dizziest is the superlative of dizzy—most affected by vertigo or disorientation.
Someone who feels dizziest after spinning has the most unsteady sensation among a group.
It extends to figurative uses: She was the dizziest with excitement when the news arrived.
Can also mean most scatterbrained: He was the dizziest of the bunch.
