whinging
Tiresome vocal griping
Whinging is the British and Australian spelling of whining—complaining in a persistent, annoying way about minor grievances: Stop whinging and get on with it.
The term carries more contempt than simple complaining; a whinger is someone who won't shut up about their problems.
Americans spell it whining.
