Hi Becky,
Thanks for weighing in! We're glad to have you on the list, and I personally appreciate the cultural context you've provided.
While some callers may continue to use the term Dixie, I think it benefits even them to have the insight into the phrases nuances.
I hope you find the list-serv useful sounds like there are some viable options for you to avoid calling it a dixie twirl.
Happy Dancing,
Luke
