quibbling

Quibbling is lying or avoiding the truth by trying to avoid the issue or dancing around the question by pretening not to understand it or arguing over semantics.

Okay Abe, did you chop down that cherry tree or not? Um, which tree? Could you define the word "chop"? You know what I'm asking, now stop quibbling and answer the question.

Prick

A prick is a selfish person who only cares about himself. He thinks it's okay to screw over his friends and will take advantage of you if given the chance.

That prick, I wrote up that report then he typed it up, put his name on it, and turned it in to the boss as his own work.
