Wheek: Who said it first?

I’m very curious to know who first came up with the term “wheeking” to describe the sound guinea pigs make (especially when they’ve just heard a plastic bag rustle). I’d also like to know who first used the term, “popcorn” to describe the funny little twisty jump guinea pigs do when they are very happy.

Wow, I thought that this was the one site where any question I could think of would be answered, but I stumped everyone with my “wheek” question?! sigh How disappointing. sigh again with unhappy face

Apparently, YOU are the first person to use these terms. I know I’ve never heard either of them.

Apparently, he isn’t. Wheek.org is a guinea pig website. It doesn’t answer the OP, I’m afraid.

grin If you haven’t heard of it, you probably don’t have any guinea pigs.

And, I’m a she! :slight_smile:
