1. whistle stop

   A whistle stop typically refers to two things: 1) Historically, it referred to a small, unimportant town, often where trains would only stop if signaled by a whistle. 2) In politics, it generally refers to a brief stop made at a small location or town during a campaign tour, usually with the purpose of making a brief speech or meet-and-greet with locals. This term became popular during U.S. presidential campaigns when candidates traveled by trains and make brief stops at many small towns along the route. It symbolizes a short visit that serves a significant purpose.

Examples of whistle stop in a Sentence

1. Robert Thompson:

   The TV appearances are the equivalent of what a whistle stop used to be, they still have to do that, but the modern whistle stop is The View and Fallon and Colbert, and you slowly build up, if nothing else, the base of people who know you.
