spun out
Fishtailed then stopped
Spun out describes losing control, especially of a vehicle that rotates uncontrollably: The car hit ice and spun out.
Figuratively, it means mentally scattered, overwhelmed, or strung out—often from stress, exhaustion, or drugs: I've been so spun out lately I can barely think straight.
In Australian slang, something spun out is wild or surprising.
