An exclamation used to acknowledge the pain or anguish of a second party, though often that pain may well have been brought about by the first party themselves. For example, when changing after PE, when some amount of bare skin was inevitable, a person might issue a resounding and painful slap to the bare back of a contemporary, leaving a large red hand mark and bringing about a squeal of pain. "Stinger!" the slapper might then say, as if to sympathise with their agony. It was also used to acknowledge pain that was merely witnessed, not caused. Say, for example, if you saw someone go over their handle bars at 30mph or take a cricket ball full pelt to the bridge of the nose, "Stinger!" you'd announce, with a heavy emphasis on the first syllable. "Stinger" was also used in constructions such as: "Stinger for you!" and the stranger "Stinger for YOUR head!!!".
