What the fuck is "whinging." It usually seems to be a typo for "whining" but I see it more often than "teh."
Whinging is sort of Commonwealth English for whining or grizzling. (Other uses: whinge, have a whinge, whinger).
We brits need extra synonyms to cover the range of our whining you see. And in case you're wondering, Teh is a form of cheap, but highly potent tea drunk in the west country [note to self: check this before sending]
I usually spell it whingeing but i suspect i shouldn't. :)
You're right, it should be whingeing, not whinging j -- "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope." - Freewheelin' Franklin, Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers
