Finger whistling or wolf-whistling, is a form of whistling in which one or more fingers are inserted into the mouth to shape the opening, allowing a forceful stream of air to be blown through.
Generally, the more air forced through the mouth, the louder the whistle.
To whistle using the fingers, simply fold the tongue back onto itself, and hold this position down using right hand: index and thumb joined, making a "O" shape, resting on your tongue. Fold the outer lips inwards, and force the air out through your fingers.
Additionally, Wolf-Whistling is commonly done to show appreciation for something or someone.
The term "Wolf-Whistle" developed around a slang use of the word "wolf" meaning a man who gives unwanted sexual attention to women. This was characterized in Looney Tunes cartoons from time to time.
