I don't think that the way you are going about this is to your advantage. You might have better accused me of pedantry. The accusations of whining, of weak diction, and of general folly weren't your best case.
To answer your question, I grew up in an unsophisticated town of several hundred in rural North Carolina, where I was taught to consult the Oxford English Dictionary when confronted with obscure usage. Neither it nor I have entries for tackful or for whinging. Barmy I am all too well acquainted with.
