There are several things I can conclude (possibly probably mistakenly) based on that statement, so I'll just sum it up with "Americans and Australians use different words for the same thing."

Man I was throwing together an image of Joe's snapping fingers on fire to say "Snap got burrrrrned" but then you posted and kind took the momentum out of the post with your peaceful reconciliation talk.

[Inlander]

Nobody pointed out the intentional mistake in my post!

This just shows that I'm clevererer than you all.

I was a really good whistler as a kid, but when I got braces i just couldn't do it anymore. I can now, but only barely.

I could whistle fine even when I had braces. How big were those things?

[pwhodges]

Oh yes, I forgot about the fingers one. I can't do that. But then it's not real whistling, it's just making a loud and shrill noise!

And I just remembered another - tongue against hard palette.  I can whistle a tune that way too.

I can't whistle or clicksnap with my fingers or anything, but I can fart with my hands.

Don't even get me started. I had braces up and down, and I had such a big overbite they removed two teeth from my upper jaw so the braces could pull my other teeth back, so the position of my teeth changed drastically, which probably caused my impressive whistling to come to an end. Also from the age of 8 to 14 I had four different kinds of retainers, and I wore my braces for two years after that.

fact: children in scotland scare me.

I can do the breath in and out whistle.  It took sometime but I can do whistle pretty much any song alternating between the two.

One time a girl asked her mom, "Mommy, is that a boy or a girl" in reference to me back when I had long hair. The sad thing was that her mom actually had to study me for a second before deciding

That is about two weeks before I shaved it all off

I like tania's story about gender ambiguity best. Although that didn't involve a kid.

I held the door open for a woman carrying her child down the stairs, with two more walking down behind her. She turned and said, "Hurry up, this nice...uh, person is holding the door for us!"

[Buttfranklin]

She probably had stuff on her mind and was having a hard time to come up with a simple word.  I do that all the time.

Granted, I don't usually struggle for the polite term for a person who looks like an evil monster.
