I thought everybody knew this word, it's one I use a lot. Just found out a bloke I work with that comes from up North(Bristol) has never heard it before. After some googling, to my surprise, it turns out it is a Portsmouth word.
Does no-one else really use this word or even heard it before?
* It means somebody who crys/moans a lot.

I always thunk it was an onomatopoeic word for horse noises.
Didn't know it was a local onomatopoeic word for horse noises.

The only time I've ever heard that word used is in a pub in Portsmouth, with a heavily refreshed mother shouting at her young children to "stop squinnying".

That is exactly the correct usage of the word.

See, there are commonly used words (as "whiny", for example) and there are local equivalents for these words, in this specific case "Squinny" is what a Portsmouth person says instead of whiny.
"Stop whining" - Usually used
"Stop squinnying" - Used in Portsmouth

I'm from Brizzle (as the locals say) I have heard it...I have relations from Devon who I heard it from first so it might not be Portsmouth.

I've never heard that (I'm from Yorkshire and currently live near Oxford).

There's a ritual in a Filipino wedding wherein the bride will throw her bouquet and whoever (lady) who catches it will be the next bride..
Now I thought, why don't try it in a funeral?

Because in order for the "star of the show" to throw the wreath, (s)he would have to be undead - and that means the catcher is about to be bitten... Might catch on in Ecuador?

Then maybe the family would do the honor of throwing the funeral flowers?

A marriage and a funeral are not that different are they?

In Ireland the only difference is one less drunk at the funeral.
