Not an “internet coinage” - a Britishism for “whine” and/or “complain”: from Middle English (same root as “whine”); and does rhyme with “hinge”

re: #295 makeitstop

My mom used to use ‘whinge.’ and she passed away long before the internet.

Ooookay. Never heard it or read it in 60 years of voracious reading (probably ~50% British) except in blogs and tweets, but I’ll take your word for it.
