If done with sufficient aplomb this makes a sound likethe "woof" of a dog. If the large part is the "woofer" thenthe small part must obviously be the "tweeter", following thenames for the large and small cones in a hi-fi loudspeaker.
These terms have been in use at Waterloo since 1972, but areunknown elsewhere.

A hi-fi speaker cabinet typically contains a low-frequency bass speaker (woofer), a mid-frequency midrange speaker and a high-frequency treble speaker (the tweeter). In a two-way system, only woofers and tweeters are used.
