Sentence: Whenever Tony is feeling down he likes to buy himself something, usually something stupid or unnecessary. Last week's purchase of a batmobile replica brought on the expected altercashion with his wife. It's not that they didn't need a car, to her, it was a concern that she had no space to bring home the groceries.

Etymology: altercation (a heated or angry dispute; noisy argument or controversy) + cash (money in the form of coins or banknotes, especially that issued by a government)
