Do You Play "Weedley-Weedley" Music?

Post by PhilO »

Today I was mailing an Abell whistle to someone and the postal clerk, as required, asked whether it was liquid, organic, etc. and then asked whether it was packed well or should be marked "fragile." I jokingly said it's an Abell Irish flute (I gave up long ago trying to explain "whistle") and has a life of its own. This definitely 100% Irishman retorted "Oh, you play that weedley-weedley music."

Just a moment I had to share.

Best,

Philo

In another context, "weedly-weedly" means blindingly fast, spandex-flavored, soulless but technically flawless guitar soloes by hair metal bands. AKA "Shredding."

I think I'm a diddly person though.

Spandex tastes like Entemans cakes. Actually, if you compare the list of ingredients in said cakes, they are almost identical to the composition of polypropylene ski underwear. :D

No, I must correct you on this - the term you refer to is actually "widdly widdly". I hope Ive stopped you embarrasing yourself with this again in the future.
