Supporter or Complainer

Quite naturally you will probably say you support more then you complain.  The average person will tell you that they are not complaining they are merely pointing out facts that need to be changed OR they are just merely stating how they feel...their opinion on the subject. Uh HUH...well buddy you are a complainer.  Take a look at the defininition:


Complain Defined:
1. to express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, or grief; find fault: He complained constantly about the noise in the corridor.
2.  to tell of one's pains, ailments, etc.: to complain of a backache.
3.to make a formal accusation: If you think you've been swindled, complain to the police.


1. Complain, grumble, growl, whine  are terms for expressing dissatisfaction or discomfort. To complain  is to protest against or lament a wrong: to complain about high prices.  To grumble  is to utter ill-natured complaints half to oneself: to grumble about the service. Growl  may express more anger than grumble : to growl in reply to a question. To whine  is to complain in a meanspirited way, using a nasal tone: to whine like a coward, like a spoiled child.
