Well for me,

-- One whistle leave him on my monosyllable side (port)
-- Two whistles leave him on my bisyllable side (star-board)

Cause sometimes there ain't any steering or veering involved.

Or how about a one-whistle with an approaching vessel during a dogleg to the 
left? Here you're turning to port even though you're doing a one-whistle. If 
you turn to starboard to do this one-whistle, you'll end up on the rightside 
bank.

(any other horses out there we can beat to death?)
