What's the difference

[EternalOptimist]

Whats the difference between a whinger, whiner, moaner, complainer or a nagger ?


There's this bloke in work, I phone him with a simple query and end up on the phone for half an hour.
By the time I put the phone down, he has slagged everyone off, told me about his latest tooth problems, his dogs ill-health, and the fact that he cant afford a holiday this year

I think he's a moaner

Someone in my family is like that.

I went round to a friend’s house and she was there, I'm sure I saw a small black cloud above her head. She went to sit in another chair and it followed her.

I say he was more a "miserable bast**d" from what you've said. He's not from Glasgow, is he.

Can't be. Said he was "in work".

He's from Brummieland. To be fair, he works hard and he's productive, but I think the telephone must be new technology down there

You are not kidding. Many of them are still coming to terms with the bicycle.
