To ''mither'' is one of those loan-words Northern dialects of English (including Scots) acquired from Scandinavian languages. Still freely heard in Lancashire or Yorkshire, the verb means to pester, aggressively solicit, to whine, whinge and generally be annoying. It is often used in the context of a parent reproving a child for demanding and persisting in making demands, often in a whiny or whingy way, despite frequent and heated rebuttals from the parents.

For instance: ''Will you stop mithering or I'll give you a right clip round the ear! I've already said no!''
