Come on this is not complicated. To imagine electron spin, think of a ball that is rotating. The election is the ball, except it’s not really a ball, and it’s not rotating either.
I think it’s more that they used an existing word for a concept that has nothing to do with its original meaning, or only in an extremely abstracted sense. This is certainly true of quark flavours and colour.

I just figured that it’s based off perspective. If you look at a spinning ball horizontally vs vertically.
Either that or is just spinning both ways at once, kinda like Earth and it’s atmosphere can go two different directions despite being the same planet.

Wait, so they all taste the same?
Yup! Curd cheese.
