Whirligigs:
Testicles.
–from B. E. Gent’s Dictionary of the Canting Crew, c. 1699
Somehow I think that is enough said. LOL At least I used a classic to illustrate the “whirligigs.”
A modern definition from Merriam-Webster is “one that continuously whirls, moves, or changes.”
Perhaps I can see a connection. 🙂
I’d never heard that definition for whirligigs before! I’d only heard it applied to those spinning wooden decorations in the garden.

Me too, Carrie-Anne! But the dictionary is from 1699, so I guess the meanings have changed somewhat. LOL
