tiffs
Small verbal scraps
Tiffs are minor quarrels or petty disagreements, typically brief and not seriously damaging to a relationship.
The word suggests a spat between people who are otherwise close—friends, couples, family members: They had a tiff over whose turn it was to cook.
A tiff lacks the gravity of an argument or fight.
