Since we haven't had enough foolishly off-thread nonsense in this thread,
permit me to ask,

Just what the deuce does whinge mean? When I first ran into it in The
Economist, I assumed it was a variant of whine; then T E used both in the
same paragraph, which made me doubt it. What are the fine points of
distinction between whinge and whine, or are they unrelated?
