    Examples for whinging

    had a boss who had a sign prominently posted on his desk, consisting of a circle with the word whine inside and a diagonal slash across the circle — like a traffic sign telling you what not to do. If someone was unproductively complaining, he would tap the sign at his left arm. Very powerful.

    This road is the western border of the

    state of Ipsumia (southwestern part of the country). It will

    flow almost due

    north from Foopolis to Barville.

    It is an English word which is usually used and universally known, without changing. This isn’t a single word, but it’s

    an effective way to communicate what you are asking.
