Might complain (4)
I believe the answer is:
beef
This clue is a double definition.
'might' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'complain' is the second definition.
(beefing is a kind of complaining)
(Other definitions for beef that I've seen before include "Complaint; strength" , "Type of meat" , "Grouse - meat" , "Muscle; meat; grievance" , "Complain; meat" .)
