How to use "Bickerings" in context?
There are few things in life as frustrating as having to deal with a person who is perpetually on the worse side of chi-chi. Being surrounded by creatures who only know how to bicker and complain can be quite the annoyance. For some, bickering may be a form of communication. For others, it can be pure annoyance. But no matter how it's carried out, bickering can quickly wear down the patience of even the most ardent supporter. In order to bicker effectively, it is important to understand how to play the game.
