The term "beef" as a slang for complaining or having a grievance likely originates from African American Vernacular English in the mid-20th century. It may be related to the idea of having a "beef" with someone, implying a conflict or issue that needs to be addressed. The usage has since expanded into broader slang, often used in various contexts to express dissatisfaction or to argue.
