Your hinge picture is beaut! Words and pictures, I'm kind of into them too. BTW, I whinge like a hinge, but only when I'm feeling a bit crook ;) From that, you might judge that I'm based down under.

OK so its North, but West not East. Hate to say this Autolycus, but mithering is used in Cumbria and Lancashire - top end and west. OK so its North, but West not East.

Except in the North of England, when it's mithering and it's non-stop... Yes, I’ve always thought grizzling stops at around age 8, when the whinging begins.

You whinge when you get older. Like Mrs K, I agree it’s babies and toddlers who do the most grizzling ( and I’m from East Anglia). You whinge when you get older.

We don't use it in the US, but I come across it in British novels. Thanks for clearing up the pronunciation of “whinge”. We don’t use it in the US, but I come across it in British novels.

Both these words are somewhat onomatopoeic, I feel. As is the Scots word 'dreich' (hint: describes weather; can you guess?) I follow your blog and your Tumblelog too. Both are amusing and interesting. Thanks. @ Claudia: I think on a drawn-out basis, “whinge” is more “un-hinge” than hinge, don’t you think?
