The phase of the Moon just after a Full Moon
The word "waning" means decreasing in size (referring to the illuminated portion), and "gibbous" means that more than half of the surface is illuminated.
The waning gibbous phase becomes the "last quarter" or "third quarter" when the illuminated portion is exactly 50%, leading to the "waning crescent" with less than 50% and eventually a New Moon (totally darkened, as the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun).

The moon is in its waning (shrinking) gibbous phase for roughly the week after the Full Moon.
Waning Gibbous
It's called a waning gibbous moon.
A waxing gibbous moon is when the illuminated portion is increasing (more than half but less than full), while a waning gibbous moon is when the illuminated portion is decreasing (more than half but less than full). The transition from waxing to waning occurs after the full moon.
Usually its waxing gibbous or waning gibbous, and both are phases of the moon
