reels
Staggers and totters
Reels are spools or cylinders around which something flexible is wound—fishing line, thread, film, or tape.
A fishing reel retrieves line; a film reel holds a movie.
To reel is to wind onto a spool, or to reel off facts is to recite them rapidly.
Separately, to reel is to stagger or lurch as if drunk or dizzy: He reeled from the blow.
A reel is also a lively folk dance, especially Scottish or Irish: dancing a reel.
