pen spinning
Bored student's fidget
Pen spinning is the manipulation of a writing instrument around the fingers and hand to create fluid, continuous rotations and tricks.
What began as idle fidgeting has evolved into a competitive hobby with named techniques, online communities, and international tournaments.
Practitioners develop complex combinations of spins, passes between fingers, and aerial maneuvers.
I picked up pen spinning during boring lectures and now I can't stop doing it in meetings.
