it doesn’t, but ‘whinger’ is a very common word in Australia to describe somebody who complains about insignificant things - especially English people when they talk about differences between England and Australia. To say this thread is ‘whingy’ means that it is full of petty complainers.
What’s whingy?
Australian for the way an English person complains about everything in Australia
Had no idea this had anything to do with Australia.

I’m thinking maybe they meant whiney, not sure tho
To whinge does mean to whine, but it’s a word that only has the one meaning (whereas whine can mean just making a noise, for instance)
Oh cool, thanks!
