"Winging" is a British term, which means the same as whining. You have
to remember that Jonathan is in England right now, so his english is
being polluted with that queen's stuff. ;-) That's also not pronounced
like we might here. It's more like "win-ging" rather than "wing-ing".
Closer to "wincing" than say, "winging it".
I also believe his comment about the winging miners was with tongue in
cheek. Correct me, Jonathan, if I'm wrong.
Peace,
Jim
