#81: argy-bargy

'twas argy-bargy
over how early barges 
of barley converge
Picture
Lots of argy-bargy in Calvin and Hobbes, my all-time favorite comic strip. The cartoon's creator, Bill Watterson, IMHO, is a genius and one of the best technical cartoonists of our time. His imagination is unbounded, and his main character Calvin is the epitome of the smart, precocious boy. 

DEFINITION of this 4-syllable hyphenated noun:
  1. Chiefly British. a vigorous discussion or dispute.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
