That is true, Seren; at least the author wasn't on a soap box.

The "teeth kissing" thing used to be written "tut-tut", and was simply known as tutting.

Teeth kissing uses the lips and tutting uses the tongue against the back of the teeth ime

The best I've got is it's sucking air through closed teeth, a sort of reverse whistle?

Thank you, Nemo; that I can understand. And have heard. A sort of disapproving hiss.

About This Thread

Maintained by McGoohan
Queenie:

Whitechapel in the 1930s was not an easy place to be brought up, and when the war came, those with nothing were hit the hardest. Queenie watched her family struggle and learned her lessons the hard way. When she was a little girl, there was one thing Queenie knew - she was going to get out of this.... And then tall, dark and handsome Alfie Butler walks into her life and gives Queenie her ticket out.

One rushed wedding later, the real trouble begins. As the Krays make their mark on...
