    To squabble is to argue noisily about something small — whose turn it is, who took the last , who sat where. The word carries a judgement inside it: whoever uses it thinks the argument is not worth having.

    It它 is also a noun也可以當名詞用 "they had a squabble over the TV remote"像「they had a squabble over the TV remote」（他們為了電視遙控器拌了幾句嘴） It它 is light and informal語氣是輕鬆、非正式的 a squabble is loud but shallow一場 squabble 聲音很大但很表面 nobody is really hurt沒有人真的受傷 and it blows over in ten minutes而且十分鐘內就會煙消雲散

    Compare argue (neutral, could be serious), quarrel (more serious, and older-sounding), and fight (which can mean hands, not just words). Squabble is the smallest of these. You squabble over or about something, and with someone.
