family feud
Relatives' prolonged quarrel
A family feud is a prolonged, bitter conflict between relatives or between entire families—the kind of grudge that gets passed down through generations, poisoning holiday gatherings and splitting inheritances.
The family feud started over Grandpa's will and lasted thirty years.
Unlike ordinary disagreements, a feud implies deep hostility that resists resolution. (Capitalized Family Feud is the game show.)
