A Cybertruck owner shares his frustration following multiple failed attempts to sell his truck. After losing more than $20,000 in 2,800 miles, the owner says, “I want to cut my losses and move on, but I can't give this thing away.”
I believe it means “whiner”. As in one who whines and complains.
I don’t know where @[email protected] hails, but I just know this because I am a dad, which means I watch Bluey, and sometimes the dad on Bluey will tell the kids to “quit whinging”.
“can’t give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks.”
A brand new AWD CT from Tesla is $79,990.
Headline is clickbait. Seller is a whinger. Trash all round. Saved you a click.
That’s the thing. He’s trying to sell his used truck for more than the cost of a brand new one with the same configuration, if I read it correctly.
The guy fucked up buying this trash at a higher price early on, and now he’s just an asshole trying to rip other people off.
Sorry to ask, but what is a “whinger”?
Whiner. Whinging is a synonym
But not back in the colonies, one would surmise.
Whinging and whining - though not exactly identical in meaning - are pretty much the same word to all intents and purposes in casual language.

Huh, it’s common as in Australia.
Never thought of it as an Australian word. Odds are it has its roots in England though I guess
In Harry Potter, an English book, the Dursleys are from Little Whinging, because Rowling has no imagination.
I’ll take that as canon given her other extremely obvious names
Are you one of those people that whinged about Marvel having a character named Wong, when the actor who portrayed Wong, was named Wong?
What? No. What does that have to do with anything? I’m talking about names like Draco Malfoy.
She didn’t plagiarise all of Harry potter though so she must have some imagination. Creatively bankrupt might be more apt
Rowling’s goblins? Based on a racist caricature
The house elves? Wouldn’t you know it, also based on a racist caricature
Centaurs? You guessed it! Based on a racist caricature!
I first heard it in the US in 2006 and had to ask what it meant.
It’s like these people don’t even watch bluey smh my head
Yeah, somehow there really do be people who haven’t seen bluey. Crazy. It’s 2025 people.
My Geordie friend uses it a lot, I think you’re right on the money.
(Geordies are from the region around Newcastle upon Tyne from what he told me, so part of northern England)
I love how watching taskmaster has given me knowledge of different accents
@Zementid @CurlyWurlies4All Australian here. Whinging is complaining or whining
Pronounced like Hinge
