n.a coined
term meaning any
situation that seemingly goes around and around repetitively and endlessly with no end or
goal achieved. This is possibly a humorous
reference to a
squirrel cage, a
type of cage that has a cylindrical
wheel inside upon which
runs a small
animal, such as a
squirrel. The
wheel, moved by the
animal, rotates on its axis going around and around while the
animal remains in the same location, going nowhere. Whirl means to rotate,
turn around or
spin rapidly.
