21. I've never seen it written whingeing...
But I do know it's whinge in the present-tense form.

Then again, I am not a Brit and will defer to the Brits and Aussies on this one! :)

4. It means whining, but they spelled it wrong.
It should be whinging.

6. Maybe it's supposed to say "stop whingeing" and they didn't have room?
("whinge" is British English and means the same thing as "whine", more or less.)

13. "Stop Winging" is the button you pwess
when you aren't in the mood to say "Hewwo?"

I believe it's available only at Barbara Walters' house.

22. An example
I was in a shop in New Zealand, and this little kid kept asking for something. Finally, the mother says, "No, because you're whingeing. Then the kid whines, "I'm not whingeing."
