And nag is a word of many meanings - thankfully, none of you are the sort to kvetch about such things.CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011651595792156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-44345093810558850012016-01-29T08:17:45.407-08:002016-01-29T08:17:45.407-08:00I love whinge.

Well, maybe not the person I said it too; "Don't be such a whinger." Ha! It actually sounds very British. Interesting change in the word kvetch. From squeeze to complain. Hmmmm.

For example to say "Helen is such an nag" doesn't describe her physical characteristics of looking like a horse but rather her behavioral characteristics of being a complainer or an annoying person.

It has a grating sound that works perfectly with the meaning. Anne R. Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420000168356370825noreply@blogger.com
