pettifog - argue over petty things;
bicker, brabble, squabble, niggle, quibble
Origin: 1605–15; back formation from pettifogger, equivalent to petty + fogger < Middle Low German voger or Middle Dutch voeger one who arranges things; akin to Old English gefōg a joining
Supply and demand are, alas, two things I find no uses for, Econometric processes to me are just an awful bore; I use my mathematics skill to pettifog my treatises, And use my flair for jargon-speak to obfuscate my sophistries.
