Whinging kettle
Meet my new kettle. It's supposed to whistle, but it seems to whinge instead. As the steam comes out of its spout, it would make a weak swishing noise, gradually rising a little in pitch, and then it would continue making that feeble squeak until I come and turn the stove off. As I pick it up, it will continue to complain — slosh, squeak, swish — as I pour water into my mug — slosh, squeak — and it won't stop until I put it back on the stove. Meet my new whinging kettle.
