Bitter words; words of resentment; complaints spoken from a deep sense of grievance or having been wronged.

A compound noun meaning resentful or bitter words directed at someone who has wronged you. 恨み means 'resentment, grudge' and 言 (ごと) means 'words, talk.' Unlike general complaints (不満), 恨み言 carries a personal, emotional charge of feeling betrayed or mistreated. Often used in the phrases 恨み言を言う (to speak bitterly) or 恨み言を漏らす (to let slip words of resentment). The absence of 恨み言 can itself be poignant.
