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.

ya ma

Your Mother. Used by Scousers and northerners on Bully Victims, or as a quick comeback to anything or everything. Origin: North west of England in the year '22' when a Scouser known as Smigga, turned to Jesus on his UK tour and asked where he was the night earlier. Jesus said, ''Manchester... it was hell mint'' and being the polite guy he was, he turned and asked back, "you?" Of course he knew he was going to say having intercourse with your mother, so he stopped the little bastard mid-sentence and crippled his nipple with his LASER EYES the reply: "shaggin ya maaaAAAAHHH!" it caught on. True story.
