cry baby
Sniveling little pest
A cry baby is someone who cries or complains too easily, especially over minor troubles.
The term is childish by design—it's what children call each other on playgrounds: Don't be such a cry baby.
Adults use it to dismiss someone's complaints as excessive or unwarranted.
Also spelled crybaby.
