I've got a daily alert set up with Google for any new/updated web content using the phrase 'low whistle' - it's a great, easy way to keep up with all the latest news, and throws up some gems (the first I knew of Brian Finnegan's excellent new CD was through the daily alert, for example).
However, inevitably with an automated text-matching system, there's a bit of noise: every writer who can't think of an original way of explaining that their character was a little suprised insists on them giving a low whistle, to give just the most common example.
And then there's the occasional thing that's just plain bizarre.
Why, for example, would American online health advice site RightHealth have a page dedicated to 'References, Advice, News, Videos, Coping and Support' about the low whistle? Disappointingly there isn't a single bit of unseen footage of Michael McGoldrick, Cormac Breatnach or Brian Finnegan on the site, or any reviews of John McSherry's new CD.
Chiff and Fipple have identified WHOA: maybe it's related to that ...
