Wheeple [WEE-puhl]
(v.)
- To give forth a prolonged whistle or shrill cry.
- To make an ineffectual attempt to whistle; also, to whistle in a low and flat tone.

From “An Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language - To Which is Prefixed, A Dissertation on the Origin of the Scottish Language, Volume 2” By John Jamieson - 1841

Used in a sentence:
“After running all the way to the top of the hill to warn the others, the best he could manage was a sad little wheeple.”

QOTD: "When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'" --Don Marquis. HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?
Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?
Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.
Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?
Finally, I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang. ~Mary Oliver
