To WHIDDLE,

to enter into a Parley, to compound with, or take off by a Bribe; as, Did you Whiddle with the Cull? Did you bribe or compound with the Evidence? Also to impeach, or discover; as, He Whiddles; He Peaches. He Whiddles the whole Scrap; He discovers all he knows. The Cull has whiddled, because we would not tip him a Snack; The Dog has discovered because we did not give him a Share. They Whiddle-Thief, and we must Brush; They cry out Thieves, and we must fly.
