squabbling |
1 definition found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Squabble \Squab"ble\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Squabbled}; p. pr & vb n. {Squabbling}.] [Cf. dial. Sw skvabbel a dispute, skvappa to chide.] 1. To contend for superiority in an unseemly maner; to scuffle; to struggle; to wrangle; to quarrel. 2. To debate peevishly; to dispute. The sense of these propositions is very plain, though logicians might squabble a whole day whether they should rank them under negative or affirmative. --I. Watts. Syn: To dispute; contend; scuffle; wrangle; quarrel; struggle.
