whimperer
One who snivels
A whimperer is someone who whimpers—makes soft, plaintive sounds of distress or complaint.
The term often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting weakness or excessive self-pity: Stop being such a whimperer and deal with it.
Children and dogs whimper; adults who do so may be judged harshly.
