Get a night job, sell a kid...2007 info

[azzy_wazzy]

'round here we pronounce it much like "wine", or "whine" if you will.

A standard response to a whinger might be "Hey! Would you like some cheese with your whinge?"

Usually you get a blank stare as a response. Then you have to explain, how cheese and whinge go together. Then after another blank stare, you explain what a whinger is. Then after another blank stare, you just walk away, muttering about the decline of western civilization.

+1 on the pronunciation of "whine"

I first heard "whinge" on the movie "Fortress," about an Australian teacher & her students getting kidnapped. Some kid was whining about something, and another kid said, "Whinge, whinge, whinge!" It didn't take me long to figure out what "whinge" meant.

True, but those were implied. I might hold my breath till my face turns blue, but the emotional impact of that would be lost over the net.

By the way, what the hell is "whinge?"

I think "whinge" is "whine", but in the metric system . . . .

It is grammatically correct to call someone a "whinger" - in fact I do it on an almost daily basis!

Whinge I'd pronounce as W-I-N-J

To whine as in W-I-N-E

And whinger as W-I-N-J-E-R

It shows more than anything why we may get so confused around here.

We just think we speak the same language.
