whist edit

Are you sure? I have never come across that meaning, and can't find it in any other dictionary. SemperBlotto 21:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's the source of the name of the game. Lots of references. Robert Ullmann 22:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
I haven't figured out to respond to messages yet. I hope this works. Anyway, I ran across "whistly" in Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash. My Webster's College Edition has an adjective listing that says "quiet, silent." Dicionary.com is a go too. How do you do italics here? Mike Revolver
Italics are two apostrophes ''italic'' gives italic. See whisper for a related term to whist.

tillerman edit

I have replaced your definition of "tillerman" (which wasn't in any of my dictionaries). Feel free to add it again with print references. SemperBlotto 07:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
