verbal fight
Loud angry exchange
A verbal fight is an argument or confrontation conducted through words rather than physical action.
The phrase emphasizes heated exchange—shouting, insults, accusations—as opposed to calm discussion: The meeting devolved into a verbal fight between the two directors.
Unlike a physical altercation, no one throws punches, but the conflict is real and often damaging.
