BICKERED Meaning and Definition

1. Bickered (verb): Bickered is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "bicker". It refers to engaging in petty arguments or quarrels, often characterized by repetitive and trivial disagreements. The term denotes a form of verbal altercation that is usually brief in duration but may be marked by irritation, acrimony, or constant sniping between individuals involved.

These disagreements often lack both substance and intensity, and may involve petty complaints, recurrent nagging, or trivial topics. Bickering generally implies a sense of persistent annoyance or aggravation rather than a genuine desire to resolve the underlying conflicts.

   Bickering can occur between friends, family members, colleagues, or even romantic partners, and may stem from a variety of reasons such as differences in perspectives, communication styles, or personal preferences. The exchanges during a bicker are typically characterized by verbal sparring, snide remarks, and sarcastic comments rather than mature and productive problem-solving techniques.

   Overall, "bickered" captures the essence of engaging in a series of unimportant or petty disputes between individuals, often devoid of meaningful progress or resolution. It emphasizes the fleeting nature of these arguments, highlighting the repetitive and inconsequential nature of the disagreements.
