Hi,
This is my first post so I hope I am doing it correctly.
Growing up in the 50's and 60's my mother coined this word. It was not in the dictionary until fairly recently as far as I can tell. A lot of people I speak to don't know of it or its meaning. Griping + Bitching
Could anyone tell me when it was added?
Thanks

I had an uncle who used the term, and that was back in the
1950's, so it has been around awhile, I guess.
