waffle & whinge

  • Intro

    Hello. How are you? Today I'm going to teach you two words that will make you understand British people more. The first one is 'waffle'. If someone waffles, they talk a lot, and you don't really want to listen to it. Stop waffling, please. The second word is 'whinge'. If someone whinges, they complain a lot. You don't like people who whinge, do you?
