Beef

Recently, I saw a funny post by zahir_0092 on Instagram that said:
If two vegans are arguing, is it still considered beef? 
This was followed by 2xV = a picture of a piece of beef with a fork and a knife.

I got curious about the origin of having a beef with someone, so I asked Google and here's what I got:

"Londoners used to cry “hot beef!” (rhymes with: “stop thief!”) to raise the alarm in a touch-and-go situation. “Beef” came to be equated with “to shout”, and it evolved from there to represent what we know it as in its modern form."
