For whatever reason, fewer people are insincere about wolf whistles.

I like wolf whistles.

Insincere vs. clueless

[khavrinen.livejournal.com]

When I was about three, the wolf whistle was the first thing I managed when I first learned to whistle. I was too young to have a clue as to what it meant; I just thought of it as whistling.
At the time, my Dad was teaching Band at Washington State University, and he often took me with him, as my Mom worked full-time at the Library. So we're walking along the campus, and I'm playing around with my whistling, when some girl happens along. I whistle, she glares at my Dad, and he points at me. "It was the kid." "Yeah, right, buddy."

Oh dear.

I hear it's a fairly common thing for speaking birds to learn.

I had a cockateal once upon a time, who learned two sounds.

Wolf whistles
and the dive alarm from WWII submarines. Strange bird. Of course, my dad was pretty odd for trying to teach the strange bird that sounds.

I owe my existence to a wolf whistle.

1966 ... a 19 year old guy was in the hospital after a motorcycle accident. One day, he saw this pretty girl walk by his room on her way to visit her father on the same floor. He whistled. They dated, then married ... and that's how my parents met.

Wow. More useful than I thought!

Why do they call them wolf whistles?

[azurelunatic]

I believe that the sort of man who used to use them was called a wolf.
