A complaint or grievance that is readily available or conveniently at hand, or an easy criticism to make.
Compound of 'handy' (convenient) and 'gripe' (from Dutch 'grijpen,' meaning to seize or complain), possibly dialectal or rare.
This word, if it exists, would illustrate how 'handy' can mean 'ready to use' in almost any context—just as we say 'handy excuse,' you could theoretically have a 'handy gripe' that's always available.
