Word of the day
Argy-Bargy
Noun
A dispute, wrangle, fight or argument (1888 Scottish origin). The term perhaps comes from the late nineteenth-century argle-bargle (or argol-bargol), which may be a portmanteau word: argue + haggle = argle, and (in order to rhyme) argle + bandy (as in the expression "to bandy words") = bargle.
