I generally call the move "two-eye turn". This seems to work just fine, and it captures the choreographic essence of the movement -- the walk around each other with a looking contact.

IMO, right-shoulder round and left-shoulder round are like the square-dance move "weave the line" around one person. Nothing about eye-contact or even looking at each other. I don't like those terms.

Of course, when I teach the two-eye turn in pre-dance lessons, I always advise that it's just looking at each other, that you don't need to stare or even look at eyes, that you can choose to read the T-shirt or look at a forehead or anything you feel comfortable with. And I like your idea of including the concept of playfulness or whimsy (concepts that are sometimes missing on the dance floor.)

(Thinking about this move -- it's actually a four-eye turn, but that gets weird.)

I'm experimenting with teaching this move as a right shoulder 'round, but describing it as friendly/playful. I will try subbing one of those words for RSR. I think it gets the idea of a face-to-face move without the flirty/slur. I know, I know, there are tons of suggestions out there. None of them that I've heard get the attitude across, and suggest face-to-face without actually calling it FTF, or "eyeballs" or something, or without sounding almost exactly like the G word. I know many people are uncomfortable with eye contact, but the interaction has been missing when I call it RSR, and I hear folks being wistful for that. I think a "playful" might bring the spark back, eliminate confused do-si-doing, and be rather fun.

We should avoid the term “gypsy” in all ways, in my opinion, not just as an official dance call. In some areas of the world it is a racial slur akin to the N word. It has been reclaimed by some Roma in the same way some lesbians have reclaimed “dyke” but when a term is reclaimed, it can still only be used by a member of the group. I can call myself a dyke but you cannot, and a black person can use the N word but I, as a white person, cannot. Since we are not all Roma we need to avoid the term gypsy in the same ways we would avoid other racial/ethnic/other slurs. I miss the term, myself. There was a flirty quality to “gypsy” that “right shoulder round” simply cannot connote. But if there were a traditional term that used “dyke” in it, I would object, and I need to show the same respect to other groups. So when I call this weekend, it will be “right shoulder round”, tho in the walk-thru I’ll also say something like, “don’t forget to make a little joking-pretend-flirty eye contact as you go around! That’s the fun of it!”

only slightly related question:  Why is it offensive to call a dance figure a gypsy but not offensive to be a dance gypsy?
