whine mode
The state of being fully locked in to wining — where every other thought has been evicted from your body and replaced by rhythm.
Definitions
The state of being fully locked in to wining — where every other thought has been evicted from your body and replaced by rhythm. Whine mode is involuntary once activated by the right song at the right volume, and attempting to hold a conversation with someone in whine mode is both futile and slightly rude. It's the Caribbean equivalent of a flow state: everything else falls away and only the music and movement remain.
