tiffing
Having minor disputes
Tiffing is petty quarreling or bickering—the kind of minor disagreement that flares up and passes quickly.
A tiff is a small spat, often between people who are close: The couple's constant tiffing wore on everyone around them.
The word suggests irritation rather than genuine conflict.
