> Sorry, mate, but "whinge" doesn't appear in my dictionary
According to the Oxford Reference Shelf (March 1994):
whine -n. 1 complaining long-drawn wail as of a dog. 2 similar shrill prolonged
sound. 3 querulous tone or complaint. -v. (-ning) emit or utter a whine;
complain. [Old English]
whinge v. (-geing or -ging) colloq. whine; grumble peevishly. [Old English]
Of course, I am French, not an English specialist.
