the worthless word for the day is: peenging

[prob. an imitative alteration of whinging]
Sc. and n. Eng. regional : whining, complaining,
moping; peevish


"[T]hat useless peenging thing of a lassie there, at
Ellangowan..."
- Walter Scott, Guy Mannering (1815)

"And he says, I've sold some neeps - you ken he
had that girny peenging voice - I've sold a cartload
of neeps to a chiel in London, but he wants me to
deliver them, and I don't ken where it is."
- Duncan McLean, Blackden (1994)
