Argufier

/ˈɑrɡjuːfaɪər/ noun

Definition

One who arguifies; a person who engages in excessive, petty, or trivial arguing or bickering.

Etymology

From argufy plus the suffix -er. This archaic term combines argue with the causative -fy suffix to create a colorful word for someone who quibbles.

Kelly Says

An argufier is basically someone who's the human equivalent of 'actually'—forever correcting trivial details and turning friendly conversations into debates about word definitions.
