I don't think it is either rude or polite, it's just something for specific situations of calling the attention. I think the psst-thing can be heard here by someone wishing to remain unseen by all but the pssted-at person (like someone around the street corner wishing to call the attention of a specific passer-by). I am certain that not all women appreciate being whistled at, shouted at, receive "flattering" comments on her looks, and whatever other kind of "attention" because of her looks. I believe anyone, irrespectively of genital apparatus and social categorisation as this or that sex, wish to be noticed in some way (by some people, and in different ways by different people). If she, however, does pay attention, the guy's reaction could go from sudden shock (" OMG, she's looking at me! How unexpected! What do I do now?!? I better run away!") to rude 'displays of affection' (blowing kisses to the lady, spiting out 'compliments' that could be taken as insults, and other similar behaviours that, if we had laws like the ones in the USA regarding harassment, would have their butts dragged to jail.) In Caracas, you never know what to expect.īy the way, there is a thread that has something to do with the matter: pick-up lines. Man: " Pppppssssssssssssssstttt!! Hey, mama! - walks towards the woman- Psssstt, psssst, psssstttt! You're so hot! Pssssstttt! Psssssstttt! Pssssssssssssttttt!"
Man: " Ppssssssttttt, ppssssssstttttt!!!!!!" I have faced that kind of "psssst-ing" for some 20 years now and I can tell it's absolutelly annoying. Guys use the "pssst" in order to get a pretty girl's attention (which of course, doesn't ever happen).
