Hi - according to the Dictionary of Slang and Coloquial English -
http://books.google.ca/books?id=uHLwJhsAezAC&pg=PA622&lpg=PA622&dq=what+is+a+whirrit&source=web&ots=O0_7mLPzEk&sig=UJJuTG1sBAICRpLBfpq0DNF7gww&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=8&ct=result#PPA625,M1

Whirrit or Whirrik is a blow, slap or box to the ears.

Cheers, Barb
