Probably not.
I called a dance (4 More Years, its on my website) with that figure on
Friday night at Glen Echo. I deliberately didn't call the figure by
that name since as soon as you mention the name of the figure, everyone
who knows what it is starts. Instead, I described who was doing what
and then said that it was like a shuttle or sliding doors. Later on in
my calling I shortened the prompt to sideways. As far as I could judge,
pretty much everyone got the move (there were about 50 newcomers and 200
more regular dancers).
At the end of the evening I was taken to task for not calling it by its
proper name so that "everyone would know what it was"!

Taking Beth's point, however, I fully support
her premise of keeping
terminology as simple and logical as possible. I'm likely to call something
like "Balance the ring and twirl to the left."
So...can we get rid of that "Angry Robin" figure now?
