Pronunciation: whyne oss ser us

Sentence: Wendy Whiner was a human Whineocerus. We all knew when she made an error, because she would whine and whine about how she had failed. Frankly, we were sick of it. Everyone makes errors and hopefully learns from them, but not Wendy. No, she moaned and groaned to the point where a bullet in your brain would be less painful. Sick to death of her antics, one day, when the Whineocerus was flaring her nostrils and starting to "do her thing", our boss brought her a large wheel of aged cheese and told her in so uncertain terms to have a little cheese with her whine! That's when Wendy dropped Cerus and became a full-time Whine-o!

Etymology: Whine (a complaint uttered in a plaintive, whining way;complain whiningly;whinge) & Rhinoceros (massive powerful herbivorous odd-toed ungulate of southeast Asia and Africa having very thick skin and one or two horns on the snout)
