Webster's 1828 Dictionary

SQUABBLE

v.i.[I know not the origin of this word, but it seems to be from the root of wabble; G., to vibrate, to quake, to be sleek. See Squab. ] 1. To contend for superiority; to scuffle; to struggle; as, two persons squabble in sport.
2. To contend; to wrangle; to quarrel.
3. To debate peevishly; to dispute. If there must be disputes, it is less criminal to squabble than to murder.
[Squabble is not an elegant word in any of its uses. In some of them it is low. ]

 

SQUABBLE

n.A scuffle; a wrangle; a brawl; a petty quarrel.

 

SQUABBLER
