The summer before my sophomore year in high school, I went to debate camp for a few weeks. When I came back, my coach asked if I’d enjoyed my time. I replied, “It was great. I learned how to spin my pen.” “I hope you didn’t pay that much money just to learn that.”

But really, so what if I did? Spinning your pen is cool. And now there’s a Google video showcasing people doing just that. I can do the flip-the-pen-over-your-thumb move (shown in the video a few times), but apparently pen flipping has evolved since I last twirled my pen mid-debate. I’ve got some practicing to do!
