  I watched the episode of The Crown last night where Michael Fagan breaks into Buckingham Palace - it used the song "Whine and Grine/Stand Down Margaret" and it has me wondering - what's the meaning of whine and grine? A play off wine and dine?

  • I don't think the phrase is a UK one; isn't it a bit of West Indian slag? The oringinal track is by Prince Buster, but I think the cover is by The Beat.Wolfboy
