When I introduce the move in Texas, I just say "do a small 'g' gypsy"
and
then it gives my license to still say gypsy. But a survey of most Texas
dancers -- they prefer "gypsy". It's a verb, not a noun/pronoun
(whatever).

Interesting discussion on the Portland Country Dance
Community Facebook
page. Lots of great suggestions. A lot of people really don’t like “right
shoulder round” (I’m one of them). I tried one of their suggestions last
night - Kipsey - and it worked amazingly well. Easy to say, particularly
when you are cutting down the calling to one word (what do you do with
right shoulder round? shoulder? Ick.) And everyone can hear the similarity
and knows what to do. I had tried spiral for a while and people just seemed
confused. The other suggestion that I noticed today was from Susan Michaels
- “look-see” That has the virtue of a similar rhyming two syllable call,
and it’s upbeat and fun and has emphasis on facing the other person. Check
out the discussion.
