Mitt Romney's Campaign - Some Vocabulary Help

[FSogol]

With "Stiff" Mitt entering the race, we'll need to develop a whole new vocabulary to describe the spins, flip-flops, and position reversals to describe how he panders to whomever is around him. Why create spend time creating new vocabulary when the world of Figure Skating already has some great terms? Feel free to use these to describe all of Mitt's change of positions.

Backflip
Biellmann spin
Bracket turn
Butterfly jump
Camel spin
Cherry-flip
Choctaw turn
Counter turn
Death spiral
Edge jump
Flying spin
I-spin
Layback spin
Overrotated
Pair spin
Pancake spin
Rocker turn
Shotgun spin
Triple-Reversal
Upright spin
Y-spin

Bonus: I made one term up. Can you tell which one?

1. I'm voting for "death spiral" being the made up one

But I love "triple reversal." I plan to use the term often!

3. Nope, but Mitt's campaign will enter one in a month or 2 tops.

Death-Spiral: An element in pair skating in which the woman skates on a deep edge with her body close to the ice and skates in a circle around the man, who is in a low pivot position and holding her by the arm.

2. "Shark Jump"

4. Mitt is too stiff to ride a motorcycle. n/t
