An interesting point - it is a habit in English to invent words by extension of a known word, making an adjective or a verb from a noun, where the meaning is obvious. It then takes years to appear in a dictionary. In the meantime the word has some undefined status, but it doesn't follow as being an incorrect part of speech. Somebody whingey is presumably whining or complaining about lots of little boring things.

I've been following this conversation and I just wanted to add that I have heard "whingey" and also "to be a whinge" apart from the obvious "to whinge". I just wonder if it's a local thing, i.e. from London and thereabouts.

And notice the odd spelling, where you need an 'e' after the 'g' in order to soften it. |
