A Brit word we should adopt: having a whinge

[madison2000]

whinge: to complain or protest, especially in an annoying or persistent manner

Actually it sounds like a combination of whining and binging which is a good thing to do to make yourself feel better!

Have a whinge here!

1. A "whinge"...I like it!

A whining binge! I love some of the words the Brits use.

2. Having a row is good, too.

3. "Knock you up"

A phrase I learned recently. If someone is coming to your house, they say something like, "What time should I knock you up?" which I can't help but laugh because of the American version of knocking someone up. To Brits it mostly means knocking on your door.

4. Doesn't "taking a ride" also have a different meaning?

Or maybe thats in Ireland...

5. I've been whingeing for years, thanks.

mostly about people who don't understand what 'whinge' is...and while I at it-not the retention of the 'e' in the subject line. That's how I see it spelled in the big British papers.

That's one of those words that I've seen written, but don't recall that I've ever heard it spoken.
