How to use "Whistle" in context?
You may have heard people talking about whistling in the street or while they're out walking their pets, but what is the historical origins of this often forgotten communication tool? To answer this question, we first have to take a look at the history of language. For many years, people communicated via body language and hand signals. However, as societies became more complex and people started travelling more, they began to need a more efficient way to communicate. This is when whistling came into play.
Whistling first evolved out of the need to communicate over long distances.
