When I've answered the question I was not considering the particles. It
was just an example. If you want to know more, go deeper in the subject
where you can really understand what it means. In brief I can tell that
it is a quantum number that restricts the number of electrons in an
orbital to 2.

I read the meaning of spin at Wikepedia, actually it's not that complex
(unless I didn't read it properly) to explain.

This quantum number is indeed related to its angular and azimutal
degree of spin (as opposed to what Igor said), the amount of momentum
of this spin, the single or multi-direction of this spin and if it's a
mono, dual, quadropole or more....

Where as s =spin, the quantum number is determined by h sqrt(s(s+1).
