A "spinner" or "spin button" is an input field that displays little up- and down-arrows on the right side. It's most often used for integers and dates. The user can click the arrow buttons to make incremental (and decremental, if that's a word) adjustments to the value. Clicking and holding on an arrow button causes many rapid changes in the value for coarser adjustments. I believe the analogy is to dials on a slot machine, but most implementations don't actually show the values spinning.
