Welcome to another Wacky Word Wednesday. I have a really great sounding word for you today, which is another one that always makes me smile when I hear it. I think it is a word that is still used quite a bit, I know I enjoy saying it when I get the chance!
Squabble. Now this is an argumentative type of word; a set-to or a scrap, perhaps a petty dispute or disagreement. It makes me think of a couple of kids scrapping over some sweets or rowing over the remote control.
It is a trivial tiff or a frivolous fuss about nothing. A storm in a teacup really, quibbling and quarrelling over minor matters! Hmmm, a bit like me and Mr Grump when we bicker over whose turn it is to make the tea!
Squabbling make me squeamish. lol NOT!! I can squabble with the best of ’em!!
I love your WWWs so much!
Another great word!

I haven’t heard or used that word in a long time. I connect it with my mother. I believe she used it. Such as “The boys have had a squabble so they are not playing together right now.” I like it. I might try it out on my grandchildren. I’ll have plenty of opportunity to say, “Don’t squabble.” That will get their attention. Thanks for reminding me.

My pleasure Oneta, it is definitely a word that needs to be used some more, and how lovely to be teaching it to your grandchildren too. 🙂

Yes, squabble is indeed a wacky word but squabbles can turn into heated arguments, too! 😀

Great word Judy. I’m always reminded of two birds in a nest just squawking at each other or maybe my budgie telling me off.

It sounds like a squabble is less volatile than fighting.

Yes, squabble is a great word. My hubby and I squabble sometimes over who’s first in the shower. We alternate, and the last one in cleans it. Although it’s almost lunch time, I’m sitting in my PJ’s now waiting for him to finish so I can shower and get dressed. It drives me mad that he has his so late. It’s a good job we’re retired.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
