splitting hairs

To argue about an inconsequential and trivial aspect of an issue

When you are accused of being forty-five minutes late for an appointment, you are splitting hairs to say that you were really only forty minutes late

Split chat

Two people chatting on two different chat clients at the same time, splitting time and conversation. A question on one chat client could be answered on the other chat client and so on...

A typical example of height of craziness and/or fun. Could also be due to inconsistent problems with the connections in either of the chat clients.

Split chat example
Yahoo1: How ye doing?
GTalk2: Good How do you do?
GTalk1: Good. What r u doing this weekend?
Yahoo2: Going out shopping. How abt u?
