Carping

Recently a Merriam-Webster Word of the Day was carp.

To carp means “to complain in an annoying way,” and often suggests that such complaining is habitual.

// He carps too much about the umpire’s bad calls when he should be focused on improving his swing.

 A word we could use more. Seems to me we use bitch in place of carp. Something for the linguists and feminists to sort out?
