When people squabble, they often express their differences or opposing views in a contentious and noisy manner. Squabbles may arise due to differing opinions, conflicting interests, or a desire to assert dominance or control over a situation. Squabbles generally lack serious intent or consequences, and they often dissipate quickly, with little lasting impact on the individuals involved or the wider context.
Squabbled can be used to describe small-scale arguments or disputes between friends, family members, co-workers, or even nations. This term emphasizes the triviality or insignificance of the disagreements and highlights the fact that they are typically short-lived and inconsequential.

Overall, the term squabbled captures the notion of engaging in a minor, often petty, and transient dispute or argument characterized by a battle of words and differing opinions. It suggests a lack of gravity, importance, or long-term impact, and it is typically used to describe relatively inconsequential conflicts that arise over inconsequential matters.
