Literature

Whip (A), in the Legislative Assemblies, is a person employed to whip up members on either side. The Whips give notice to members that a motion is expected when their individual vote may be desirable. The circular runs: "A motion is expected when your vote is `earnestly' required." If the word "earnestly" has only one red-ink dash under it the receiver is expected to come, if it has two dashes it means that he ought to come, if it has three dashes it means that he must come, if four dashes it means "stay away at your peril." These notices are technically called "RED WHIPS." (Annual Register, 1877, p. 86.)
A whip. A notice sent to a member of Parliament by a "whip" (see above) to be in his place at the time stated when a "division" is expected.
Whip He whipped round the corner - ran round it quickly. (Dutch, wippen; Welsh, chwipwio, to whip; chwip, a flick or flirt.)
He whipped it up in a minute. The allusion is to the hoisting machine called a whip. A single whip is a rope passing over one pulley; a double whip is a rope passed over two single pulleys attached to a yard-arm. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

Mining

A. A rope that passes over a pulley and is pulled by a horse to hoist ore. Modern form occasionally seen has a car or lorry working backward and forward for shallow pitting. Called whip-and-derry when used with a derrick or gin b. One who operates such a hoisting apparatus. (references)

Specialty Definition: Whip

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

This article does not concern whip (implement) or walks plus hits per inning pitched. In politics, a Whip is a member of a political party in a legislature whose task is to ensure that members of the party attend and vote as the party leadership desires. The term originated in the Parliament of the United Kingdom and derives from the "whipper-in" at a fox hunt. Whip is also used to mean the voting instructions issued to members by the Whip.

The Government Chief Whip in the House of Commons is usually appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, in order to get a seat at the Cabinet table.

In the UK Parliament the importance of a vote is indicated by underlining of items on the whip paper. Disregarding a "three-line whip" is a serious matter and may result in "withdrawal of the whip", which is a form of expulsion from the party.

The U.S. House of Representatives has a Majority Whip as well as a Minority Whip.

Devil's Dictionary

DEBT, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave- driver. As, pent in an aquarium, the troutlet Swims round and round his tank to find an outlet, Pressing his nose against the glass that holds him, Nor ever sees the prison that enfolds him; So the poor debtor, seeing naught around him, Yet feels the narrow limits that impound him, Grieves at his debt and studies to evade it, And finds at last he might as well have paid it.
