Puss Music

Puss as a word for face is an Irish thing, as in She had a puss on her when I didn't agree with her.

Puss music was a word we used for a "tune' played on an instrument formed by putting a handkerchief (remember those?) over a comb and sucking through it. Pus music could also be a form of diedyling, using syllables but no words.
