Carp
<karp>
nag; whine; gripe;
to constantly complain about little things.
The author did not like the carp of the critics but it made her a better writer.
Memory trick:
a carp is also a fish.
think of an annoying fish.
At work:
The widget now comes in all colors because of the carp from the clients. They did not like black and white.
Enough with the carp!
