Word of the Day

Whistle- to make a clear musical sound, a series of such sounds, or a high-pitched, warbling sound by the forcible expulsion of the breath through a small opening formed by contracting the lips, or through the teeth, with the aid of the tongue

Warble- to produce a continuous sound varying regularly in pitch and frequency (it can also mean a tumor on a horse's back, in case anyone wanted to know

**John seems to think that this is wrong because some people can whistle by breathing in, not out. If anyone else agree's, please contact Webster. Maybe he will change it for you.
