Definition

A grievance or complaint, usually simmering beneath the surface like a slow-cooked stew of resentment. When you've got beef with someone, it's personal, it's real, and reconciliation requires more than an apology.

Example Usage

Ever since the merger, the two department heads have had beef with each other over resource allocation.
