Dang. I'd still like to find out where it originated. Probably from the lips of some Irishman, lol.
The plural of carpenter is carpenters.
It is probably of German origin and it means to strike or to hit hard.
There is no standard collective noun for a group of carp, however, the standard collective nouns for fish can be used for carp: a school of carp or a shoal of carp.
Carp is two different words. A Carp is a bottom feeding fish in lakes and rivers. However, the word carp as a noun, it means to fasten on a trait...it's nagging about one thing."Mary decided to carp on John's fault of watching cartoons.""John ignored Mary's carp as he was enjoying the cartoons.""The carp was captured by the eagle flying overhead."
The correct spelling is carp (to complain, or a freshwater fish).
I don't think it has an origin. Its more of a common sense saying. Rock= hard therefor hard as a rock.
