falls out
Has a dispute
Falls out describes things becoming detached and dropping away—hair falls out, teeth fall out, objects fall out of pockets.
People who fall out have a serious disagreement that damages their relationship: They fell out over money and haven't spoken since.
In military contexts, to fall out is to leave formation or be dismissed.
Fall out! is the command ending a drill.
