Oh, my, I had blocked that out of my memory, but you are, unfortunately, quite right. Sigh.

Amy, unfortunately, the original reference made an impact on me because I was so repulsed by the scene. It was back on New Caprica when we first found out how Ellen was going about trying to save Tigh.

Cavil praised her on that particular finishing technique.

@Norman – ah, well, you brought it to my attention, so thank you.

@djrubin & Ms. SP – do we know this for sure?? I much prefer to think that it has something to do w/Starbuck’s paintings.

Ugh. If only “the swirl” was such a nice reference. I think they figured out the term on Lisa’s blog so I’m not going to try to explain it again here. Whew!

The “swirl” is actually a sexual position of sorts that Ellen “taught” Saul…and obviously we now know where SHE learned it from…

I did not originate that word. They’ve been using at the Galactic Watercooler forum for awhile:
