quibble. a slight difficulty raised without necessity or propriety; a cavil. 
     2. no justly eminent member of the bar will resort to a quibble in his 
argument. it is contrary to his oath, which is to be true to the court as 
well as to the client; and bad policy because by resorting to it, he will 
lose his character as a man of probity.
