I'm thin, but I'm wiry.

Your armpits and ahem pubic region are also likely to contain thousands of thin, wiry hairs broadly similar to those that Jeremy Clarkson has on his head and these act to wick this pungent mixture, exposing more of it to the air to help it spread further and faster.

A little flock of these titmice came daily to pick a dinner out of my woodpile, or the crumbs at my door, with faint flitting lisping notes, like the tinkling of icicles in the grass, or else with sprightly day day day, or more rarely, in spring like days, a wiry summery phe be from the woodside.

Thither, too, the woodcock led her brood, to probe the mud for worms, flying but a foot above them down the bank, while they ran in a troop beneath but at last, spying me, she would leave her young and circle round and round me, nearer and nearer till within four or five feet, pretending broken wings and legs, to attract my attention, and get off her young, who would already have taken up their march, with faint, wiry peep, single file through the swamp, as she directed.
