Wet my whistle
to consume a beverage of some sort.
technically it should only be used in reference to drinking beer because of the history of the phrase:
back in the middle ages when beer was sold in ceramic cups they would be fitted with a small whistle which could be blown upon finishing ones beverage in order to alert the bar staff that you require another beer. therefore to get a beer would literally be “wetting ones whistle”
martin – oh look, i finished my lovely pint of ale. best wet my whistle with another broadside or london pride.
alexi – get me some chillie nuts or prawn c-cktail crisps while your there, you slag.
to consume a beverage of some sort to cleanse one’s pallet.
water is a common choice or crunk juice.
pr-nounced {whet-mi-wiss-el}
brad: oh boy, am i thirsty! i need something to wet my whistle!
carson: want some water?
brad: i sure do!
basically, it means to do something you enjoy. technically, it means you do something to moisturize your mouth, like drink something.
i’m going to drink a beer to wet my whistle.
i like that car, it really wets my whistle.
