Falling Out

An acrimonious quarrel or argument between two people that usually results in estrangement. The two people in question must always be extremely close; i.e best friends or family members. It can also be more than two, although that doesn't happen very often.

There are two possible outcomes of a falling-out:

-The friends will no longer be on speaking terms for awhile, but eventually reconcile.

Or...
-The friends will no longer be on speaking terms. Period.
"Did you hear Alan and Blake are no longer friends?"

"What? I thought they were inseparable!"

"Not really...they had a falling out after finding out that Alan's girlfriend was cheating on him with Blake."
