One who whines. The two given cites are all that can be found in GBooks, and the 1753 one looks more adjectival/verbal than nounal. At the absolute minimum this should be marked as a nonce word. Equinox ◑ 22:12, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I like the word and it was instantly clear to me what it means without reading any definition, but I see hardly anyone actually using this outside dictionary sites. The few Twitter hits it gets seem to be typos of some sort, they are using it as a verb. Could this ever be a nonce word? It seems like it's a potential drop-in replacement for whiny brat and not thought up for any particular occasion? W3ird N3rd (talk) 03:47, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

RFV-failed. I can find it in many of the books by Sandra Hill, but nowhere else. I would have to consider it a neologism at this point. Kiwima (talk) 20:16, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
