When was the whistle invented?
Whistles made of bone or wood have been used for thousands of years for spiritual, practical, and, or entertainment purposes.

There was also a medieval version that was used during the Crusades to assemble English crossbow men on deck for an attack. The model currently being produced by the Acme Whistle Company of Birmingham, England, was first manufactured in 1868 by the company's founder, Joseph Hudson.

How do whistles work?
Whistles can be made of a hard material, such as plastic, wood or metal. It is a device that makes a whistling sound when air is blown through its mouthpiece. One type of whis…tle is similar to a hollow tube, where one end is open and used as the mouthpiece. On the side of the whistle is a sharp edge that creates a slit or opening along the midsection.

Is it 'wet' your whistle or 'whet' your whistle?
I have seen it spelled both ways and at first I thought "whet" was the olde english spelling. I hope you find this explanation as sensible as I did. To whet is to sharpen / ho…ne. So harken back to the days before modern machinery. It's harvest time and the gentlemen farmers would gather in each other's fields to cut grain with their long scythes, also called whistles as they whistled as the men cut through the crops. Obviously, as the men stopped to sharpen their scythes or whet their whistles, the whistling would stop. This would alert the women folk back at the farm house, that the men had stopped and it was a good time for the ladies to bring them water. So the whet your whistle is to sharpen a scythe. To wet your whistle is to satisfy the need for a drink. Ever tried whistling with a dry mouth? (MORE)
