birl

1 There was sea salt in the air, and sleepless seagulls were birling in the darkness overhead.

2 For years, Muir, a self-possessed 12-year-old from the East Bay, told his parents that he was a “birl”: part boy, part girl.

3 Birl, birl, v.t. to spin anything round: to throw down a coin as one's share in a joint contribution.—v.i. to whirl round.

4 Oh, could I but snap his nerves one by one, and birl among his vitals!

5 Already he had mastered the rudiments of “birling,” and could run across floating logs, if not gracefully at least with slight chance of a ducking.

6 About nine in the morning, in a burst of wintry sun between two squalls of hail, I had my first look of Holland—a line of windmills birling in the breeze.

7 Why was the sympathy of the crowd with Jimmy Powers in the birling match?

8 "That means," he said, "that some of their great men are birling at the wine within, and will little like to be disturbed."

9 “I only catched Rough Shan McCane in among the lumber piles this afternoon and took a birl out of him.”

10 Here at the wine one birls, There some one clanks a chain.

11 spent a good part of his time in Edinburgh birling into the wee small hours of the night

12 Another, unable to reach dry land, dug his spiked boots into a slippery timber and birled downriver.

13 In some parts of the United States, birling contests are annual events.
