Re: Spin, Whirl, & Swirl - What is their difference?
Spin and whirl are very similar, although whirl has a more "fun" sense to it.
Swirl is when you mix two things together in a certain way. If you have chocolate cake batter and you pour it on top of yellow cake batter, and take a knife and make a few circular motions, you have swirled the chocolate into the yellow. It is not fully combined - but they are integrated into each other.
