I don't recall anyone saying 'whirl her around'. That would imply the gent is
not moving - which is not the case. I usually just say 'butterfly whirl'.
When I teach, I occasionally show the problem if they let the ladies role do
all the traveling.

Addendum:
Often accompanied by "... And whirl/reel her around" (again, both butterfly
whirl / courtesy turn / a few other moves).
(Thanks for helping me clarify!)

I have always considered that terminology to refer to picking up someone as you
would a hitchhiker, not physically lifting someone. I don't see it as having
anything to do with who is doing what work.

A quick question:
How many callers believe that one role does the majority of the work in a
courtesy turn or a butterfly whirl? If so, can you explain how the shared
weight that differs from an allemande?
I've always been taught about shared weight being essential in all contra
moves, and I guess I'm still surprised when I hear callers prompt "pick her up
and take her to the other side" as if the person in lady/raven role is not
giving any weight. (Or similar one-role-biased prompting.)
