"Whinge" is a word I learned from reading the Harry Potter books to my kids years ago. I like it because it actually sounds whinier than "whine". |

Break 'oeuvre' down into sounds: [URV] + [RUH] - say it out loud and exaggerate the sounds until you can consistently produce them. Or you can just say what we hoofties say… “Bunch of stuff.”  |

simulacrum
noun [sim-yuh-ley-kruhm]
an effigy, image, or representation: a simulacrum of Aphrodite.
simulacrum sounds like it would be something that's similar to a crumb, but not exactly a crumb, more like a bit or a morsel. |
