    Someone I know has claimed that women can't whistle...

    You know the way that some people will randomly whistle?
    No tune, just random incoherent 'I'm an annoying fucker who is raping your ears with my attempted birdsong' whistling.
    Well I was pointing out that apart from the fact it makes me want to punch them in the back of the head, that it is never women who do this.

    They countered by telling me that women can't whistle.

    Can you whistle? (you don't have to be good at it, just the ability to do so)

    I can whistle with just tongue, fingers and normally. I’d deafen you if I whistled with my fingers beside you. I’m very ladylike! :p

    People used to think wistling women were really unlucky;

    "A whistling woman and a crowing hen will fear the old lad (devil) out of his den."

    "A whistling woman and a crowing hen are neither fit for god nor men"

    Why is that?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭cbyrd


    a whistling woman scared the shíte out of a priest way back and they thought if we tell them they're devil-raisers and won't get a good husband they'll shut up. . . pishógs.... crowing hens are just wierd anyway.. laying their eggs and all ... scary stuff all right :pac:

    I am a man and I can whistle
    I'm a woman and I whistle regularly. I couldn't believe that my American cousin's wife couldn't believe I could whistle. Apparently she'd never seen or heard, or heard of, a woman whistling in all her life.

    What a sheltered life those Yanks lead.

    I'm a guy, but I cant do the one where you put your fingers in your mouth, but I can whistle the other way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭cbyrd

    I can whistle.

    The regular type.
    The through-the-bottom-teeth type.
    And the fingers-in- mouth-to-catch-your-friend's-attention-from-way-down-the-street type.
