古英语中的 hwistlian 意为“吹口哨”,源自原始日耳曼语 *hwis-,具有模拟的起源(源自古诺尔斯语 hvisla 的“耳语”,丹麦语 hvisle 的“嘶嘶声”; 参见 whisper(动词))。中古英语中也用于形容蛇的嘶嘶声; 在17世纪,它还可以表示“耳语”。自15世纪末开始有及物用法。相关词汇: Whistled; whistling。在公共活动中,它常常是美国人表达支持或鼓励的方式,但在英国常常带有嘲讽的意味。whistle for(几乎没有成功的希望)可能源自航海术语 whistling for a wind,这是一个古老的水手迷信,在风平浪静时“这样的人在风暴中不会吹口哨”[世纪词典]。whistle "Dixie" 的用法始于1940年。
