wolf whistle. Okay. Let's take a look at the note. If someone makes a wolf whistle,

especially a man you know, it's almost always a man. He makes a loud whistling

sound with a high rising note and a low falling note. It kind of sounds probably

something like ( wolf whistle sound' ) That would be your typical sort of a wolf whistle. Yeah so

men, typically construction workers or tough guys or, or laborers do this to

show admiration for a woman's beauty . I'm sure you've seen this in many movie

scenes, but you know I have seen this in real life too.

A little bit, so but but especially construction workers, especially outdoor

laborers. You know, when there's a number of them around. If he, and especially if

he thinks she is sexy. However , many women find it intimidating.

Well, well some might. They might almost get a little scared or feel a little

nervous and sometimes they'll probably just walk on by quickly. And sometimes

offensive, they may. Okay. So different women may actually react different ways.

So like most will probably do nothing. They'll be quiet and they'll just walk

on. I mean it is a possible every now and then that you know, some of them may give

a dirty look to the construction workers. Or I mean if worse they may yell

something back or maybe they give them a middle finger or something like that. But

anyway, let's let's continue with the, with the note here. There are several

theories about how the term wolf whistle came to be what it is today. How'd it

come into existence ? What's its origin ? Some credit a scene from an old movie "To

Have or Have not with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. And in this, in this

scene that they're actually kind of arguing with each other, and then

suddenly Lauren Bacall's character just kind of leans over and kisses Humphrey

Bogart. Actually takes him by surprise and he says you know,

what did you do that for ? And she basically replies I've been wondering

whether I'd like it. You know and then and then she goes on to say, you know

you don't have to act with me Steve. She said you don't have to act with me you

don't have to do anything, not a thing. Oh maybe uh maybe just maybe just

whistle. And that's, that's really where it came from. So as she walks out the

door he kind of lets out (wolf Whistling sound ) Kind of like that so that's why a lot of people think

he kind of came from that. There's other theories too there's others that claim a

wolf whistle is actually really a whistle to warn you about wolves. You

know in Great Britain you know a lot of Shepherds used to make a really, really

loud whistle. You know , the whistle you can put your fingers in your mouth and

get hear it for miles. And that's the way they signaled each other that, that a

wolf was coming. So some people believe this is where it may have started.

However , let's continue here. However believe it or not. Cartoons may have had

the most significant influence on wolf whistles, Tex Avery made two influential

cartoons little Red Walking Hood in 1937 and Red-Hot Riding Hood in 1943. Yeah the

one that Red Hot Riding Hood I don't know if you ever remember the old movie ,Mask.

I think Jim Carrey makes fun of this because when he has the mask on

he's doing the same thing. Where he's you know he's whistling all over it you know,

I guess a little red-hot Riding Hood is up there

and he's like whistling , (whistling sound) and he's getting the machine to whistle. And his eyes are

popping out. The tongue is coming out. And it's really kind of overdone. But here's

the point. Avery's cartoons were shown to US soldiers

during World War two and before you know it , wolf-whistling was everywhere. So

maybe the soldiers picked up on this. Maybe that's how it started. So to be

honest that probably seems like the most likely or the greatest influence on wolf

whistles. Now ironically, I remember in the 1990's, So

ironically in the 1990s, there was a TV show called Ugly Betty.

Yeah it was a TV show I think it was a cable TV show. And and the girl she

supposed they purposely made her look unattractive. They put nerdy glasses on

her and she I think she was still wearing braces. She supposedly was very

nice though. Supposedly had a good heart. But there

was one scene in one episode and one episode she had to dress up you know

just a little sexy. And she got her first wolf whistle. However she never, she never

received one before. So she was actually flattered. Yeah. I always remember they

kind of made a joke out of this. Because normally she's ugly, and she thinks she never

got a wolf whistle. So she's like she, she got the whistle and she's turned around

just looking around. Me, me and she's pointing to herself, me, me. She was really

happy about it. Because nobody you know, hardly anybody, ever thought she was sexy.

So they made a joke out of that. But anyway, let me know, let me know if you

ever received a wolf whistle. You know, if you're a woman and how would you

respond ? Would you get angry ? Will you just keep quiet ? Will you walk on ? Would

you think it's offensive ? Will you will you yell some dirty words back ? Or would

you give them a middle finger ? Or would you act like Ugly Betty and be, be happy

about it. I don't know. I guess if you want you can

leave some comments. But anyway. Thank you for your time. I hope you got it . I hope

you enjoyed it. Goodbye. Bye-bye.
