i'm sorry but the person in the post before makes no sense...
Both whirling and twirling are essentially the same verb except that whirling implies a more negative connotation in it being more random and out of control. twirling implies a more purposeful or graceful action.

Whirling is curling something you do by hand.
You whirl a rope to throw a loop.
Twirling is something that rides up by itself - Like a skirt in winter and static electricity. The edges can 'twirl' up in a dry environment.

Hi socialist !!!
In my opinion the difference is that "whirling" refers as to spinning around in circles or in one direction.
"Twirling", refers to spinning around in circles while at the same time, twisting itself. What ever it is that is spinning.
For example, a washing machine, "whirls"inside, in order to wash. And a tornado "twirls", in it's own "whirl" in order to move.
GOD BLESS YOU & HAPPY NEW YEAR
