Who moans ' the most ?

[Gaer]

I'm glad someone else pointed that out.

I'm too new here to go down that path...

Yes, He's right! "Moan" can be a sound from a physical illness ,or an ecstatic sexual encounter,or probably many other things. Oh, Maybe this is one of those UK things. I think of "moan" as a "sigh".,(kind of a sexy sigh!)
In the sticks: Just spit it out, pilgrim!

Define ‘ moans.’

 

[Gardenlover]

To put a positive spin on it - People in love, or in the midst thereof.

As the saying goes 'Do you want some Cheese with that Whine'

 

[Gardenlover]

If moan equates to wine, than I am the chief winer (or is it winner) among you.

I know, I know my friends and fellow proper grammar addicts - winer is misspelled, not to be misread as wiener - thank you so very much.

Why of course I do or has our culture turned barbarous?

I just had a glass of wine with a brownie.

Do you like the sommelier or the baker?

I know when I was younger (make that a lot younger), I could make the wife moan. Now... not so much.

Just keep telling her the same joke or story over and over again.

Usually men as they grow older don't moan so much in fear of losing their teeth. They just get grumpy and give the odd Harrumph. I just had a birthday . I'm X rated. In Roman numerals.

I don't even want to know what the guy at the wine shop said when you asked that question.

My guess would be "Boones Farm, ma'am. Glass is optional."

Happy Birthday!!

I've got LXVI coming up in May.

I think there are moaners, and gender has little to do with it. And all of us are entitled to moan every now and then.

Since you said "UK thing" in the context of this subject...

My mother was British...a WW2 war bride. When her relatives asked if you wished to be awakened in the morning by a rap on the door, they would ask "Would you like us to knock you up?" Right sporting of them, don't you think?

So maybe we don't want to know the British meaning of "moan." It might mean the beginning of the day (Top of the moan to ya), it might mean an additional amount (I'll have moan kippers, please), or it might be something else entirely (Did you see the %*&^@# moans on that bird?).

 

[Gaer]

In the Sticks: If they would have"knocked you up", that would have been quite an interesting accomplishment, don't you think? Hahaha!

 

[grahamg]

Define ‘ moans.’

There is an easy solution to this request of yours we can all now manage without even getting out of our chairs you know(?). .

I moan all the time, but "I'm so oppressed don't ya know!"

 

[Wren]

I’ve known members of both sex that moan or complain about everything, I can accept a genuine, occasional moaner but avoid the persistent ones like the plague.....

I was not gonna give them the chance!!!

I told them that I was "self-rousing."

 

[MarciKS]

I try to avoid moaners and what I call, crybabies. There was a pilot who flew for many years, but never made Captain. He always failed at something. The worse part was that he was a constant complainer. Everything was bad, nothing was good. Drove me nuts when I flew with him.

I work with that crap all day every day. It's enough to make ya wanna slap somebody. LOL

 

[Ruthanne]

Many a good "vent" has saved me from losing me marbles...I think we all need to sometimes. I have a male friend who has COPD, Congestive Heart Failure and Cirrhosis and a host of other things wrong with him. He vents to me about it all and I think it does him good. I really don't mind listening.

As for who does it more, men or women, I'd have to say it's a tie...it saves some from going up the wall sometimes so I just let it be.

 

[Gary O']

Who moans ' the most ?

so i put it to you ' who do you think ?

Seems it's always been pretty much whoever is getting it 'put to them'

 

[MarkinPhx]

I'll bite. I clicked on because I thought it meant a different context !

As far as this type of moaning, I think it is equal in nature. We are human after all.

I think I agree, and maybe even could extend that to "Who nags the most" if I'm not taking the thread off topic there(?).

Don't ask me to define "nags" though will you!

 

[toffee]

Guess I'm not understanding anything today! When you mean "moan" do you all mean "complain"? Moan could have many contexts.

I mean MOAN ' at anything -!!!!! especially things that dont mean a thing really )))))))
