Wheezy describes breathing that makes a rough, whistling, rattling sound because air is having trouble getting through your chest or throat. A person can be wheezy — an asthmatic child after running, an old man with bad lungs, anyone in the last days of a bad cold. Their breath is not just loud; it has a thin high whistle or a wet rattle in it, and you can usually hear it from across the room.

You can also call the breathing itself wheezy, or the voice, or the cough: 'a wheezy little laugh', 'a wheezy chest'. It is an everyday word, not a medical one — a doctor writes 'wheezing' in your notes, but your mother says 'you sound wheezy, sit down'.

People stretch it, gently and often fondly, to old machines that ought to sound smooth and don't: a wheezy old air conditioner, a wheezy motorbike, a wheezy accordion. That stretch is friendly, almost affectionate, because the machine sounds like a tired old body.
