Whining is about the closest to it but it's just doesn't have enough oomph. For Brayden's sake, whinging has more adult dissatisfaction or grumpiness behind it ... whining's what kids do when they are stopped from having a third round of potato gems or fairy floss. Kvetching could be a good substitute but like y'all it seems to be restricted in use. <BR/><BR/>Maybe we could add to the usefulness of the US / Aus free trade agreement by adding a vocabulary clause ... Americans get whinging and Australians get the wonderfully useful 'dumb-ass'.Tanya Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09441934887004417645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-88964365933743102562007-10-15T11:36:00.000-04:002007-10-15T11:36:00.000-04:00"ghost turds" for those packing peanuts probably w..."ghost turds" for those packing peanuts probably won't pass, but is suggested.<BR/><BR/>gmail's database facility almost makes up for its being web-based-only.
