#11: cavil

6/20/2015

seemed a cavalier
but with his constant cavil
not then so civil

I was picturing a pompous knight of some sort, then found this image from the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie of the French Knights taunting the English knights. They're so goofy!

Life Lesson: laugh and be foolish sometimes.

DEFINITION:

to raise irritating and trivial objections; find fault with unnecessarily (usually followed by at or about):
He finds something to cavil at in everything I say.
to oppose by inconsequential, frivolous, or sham objections: to cavil each item of a proposed agenda.
