Talk:whistle

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Equinox in topic whistle-drunk

笛(ふえ) is listed as Japanese for "whistle", when it actually means "flute".

Could someone add what "whistling past the graveyard" means?

To act unafraid when indeed you are.

Etymology edit

Is it cognate with whiz? --Fsojic (talk) 16:12, 1 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

whistle-drunk edit

This word (meaning very drunk) appears in Fielding's Tom Jones, but in few or no other places. Equinox 20:15, 22 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
