susandennisI was just reading friends' LJ entries. One of them was talking about whinging and moaning... and I thought - wow... typo. Then about two people later, there's someone else talking about people who whinge. Cleary both meant whining or bitching. BUT it was too weird to have the same typo in both. Then I realized both writers are British and I got suspicious. Fired me up a google and holey moley... whinge is a real word that actually does mean whining! And, according to the audio, it sounds just like it looks like it would.
Intransitive verb: Chiefly British To complain or protest, especially in an annoying or persistent manner.
Wild. I wonder... can you whinge in a whiney voice?
What an interesting word and how interesting that I've never ever heard of it and it turns up twice in one roll of the mouse wheel.
