Grant mentions how a woman whistling Dixie might somehow not be a good thing (according to people back in the day). I grew up in Texas and heard the phrase "Whistlin' women and crowin' hens, will never come to no good end." Of course my mom (the only one I heard this from) has a penchant for these great old sayings and only used it jokingly, never with actual disapproval!

My SW Missouri grandmother had a slightly different version, "Whistling girls and crowing hens, often come to some bad end."
