[Callers] "pick her up"

[Mac Mckeever]

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.)
