grizzler
One who fusses
A grizzler is someone who grizzles—whines, complains, or frets persistently.
The term is most common in British and Australian English, often applied to fussy children: The baby's been a right grizzler all morning.
Adults who habitually moan about minor grievances also earn the label.
