Pronunciation: scrab-bel-skwab-bel

Sentence: Family game night turned ugly when Ted began a Scrabblesquabble about the word "verbotomy." When his sister protested, Dad looked it up in Webster's; however, it wasn't there. Ted insisted that he saw the word online somewhere. Nettie wasn't sure if being online qualified it as a real word or just something made up. Ted held his ground and insisted that because he saw it online, it must be a real word because they wouldn't put things that aren't real online. Mom suggested that perhaps Ted was confusing two words and somehow mashing them together. As Ted's belligerence grew louder, Nettie stormed off and pouted, Mom retreated to the kitchen and little Rosie began to cry and throw blocks at the dog from her playpen. Dad had enough. He finally shut the whole thing down and sent everyone to bed. The next week they tried something a little less controversial like Trivial Pursuit.

Etymology: Scrabble: word building board game where questionable words can be challenged by an opponent and settled by proving the validity of the word using a dictionary + squabble: a noisy quarrel, usually over a trivial matter
