griped
Moaned and groaned
Griped is the past tense of gripe, meaning to complain in a persistent, irritable way: He griped about the food the whole trip.
The word suggests petty or nagging complaints rather than serious grievances.
An older meaning—to cause sharp stomach pain—survives mainly in the noun phrase griping pains.
