Let a [[Hello, Nurse!|hot, sexy woman]] stroll through a crowd of males and one or more of them will emit this classic sound, guaranteed. The '''Wolf Whistle''' is a staple of old films and cartoons of the '30s and '40s, most notably the works of [[Tex Avery]]. The Wolf would acknowledge the presence of Red with this whistle.
The Wolf Whistle isn't limited to men expressing their appreciation of women. It can also be used to express admiration for anything desirable. A hot sports car, awesome home electronics, a new jet fighter can also elicit this response.
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
May also have the whistler become [[Metaphoric Metamorphosis|an actual wolf, or have a wolf head]]. See also [[Construction Catcalls]].
