Swedish term or phrase: kuttra till
"Lockarna, menar jag. ser du inte. Jag har två sexor i pannan. Det är modernt."
...
"Lennart tycker i alla fall det är jättesnyggt."
Birgitta tittade upp:
"Vem är det?"
Gertrud drog upp axlarna, det var som om hela hennes vita kropp kuttrade till.
"Min nya kille. Skitsnygg. Jättetrevlig."

Kan det vara fråga om ett stav-/tryckfel - huttra i stället för kuttra?

English translation:cooed like a dove
Explanation:
Cos the verb is 'kuttra' and not 'spinna' and as we understand this in English, I don't think it is right to change the 'animal' here that gives us the image
