OED is Oxford English Dictionary, not Olde English Dictionary. Whinge is in current usage, now colloquial. See http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/whinge.htm for a real life example. It's origins are a few centuries back. Not disqualifying from usage, I trust, as every word in this sentence also has its origins a few centuries back.
