have a good moan
complain together
To have a good moan means to complain with someone about problems in order to feel better.
Hear it in real life
How was your coffee with Sam?
Good. We had a good moan about work.
We had a good moan about the traffic before enjoying our lunch.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: We had a good moan on our boss.
Say: We had a good moan about our boss.
Use “about” before the thing you are complaining about.
