Arguing is when typically two people have different beliefs and take turns asserting what the truth really is.
John believed that flowers die once uprooted and cast in a fire but Jane asserted that they simply evolve to a new form of existence so they began adding their supporting evidence to each other for hours and rumor has it they are still arguing to this very moment.

Get the Arguing mug.When you ask why and your mom considers it as fucking arguing because she doesn’t know the fucking definition of arguing

Get the Arguing mug.See! I'm doing the thing to hym and he's not murdering the kids! See! I guess it doesn't do the thing he said it would and and/or he's scared of how tough I am, right? He's not murdering the kid so I guess he was wrong, huh? I guess he was wrong!
Hym "That isn't even how that would theoretically work or what I was insinuating you fucking retard AND your starting point is AFTER THE RESPONSE... I already gave to the thing that was already happening... And taking a single sample case and using that to determine what the outcome of doing thing would be in no way proves or disproves a proposition and is in no way reflective of what I'm doing in regards to ANYTHING. You're dumb. You're D. U. M. B. Dumb as fucking dogshit. This is exactly why pumping more money into the school system is a waste of time because no amount of time or money is going to make you understand things better. It's a waste to even feed your kids at this point."
A fucking retard "Why are you arguing bro? Why are you arguing with me? You just gotta do what everyone else does and resign yourself to a mediocre existence or you gotta be like me and have a mindset bro."
Hym "You are a useless mediocre solipsist and I literally cannot be like you and nothing you could ever acquire in life could make me want to be like you."
A fucking solipsist "No U! Something-Something Non-sequitur!"

Get the Arguing mug.When people argue about the definition or meaning of a word. This usually starts in the middle of an argument and distracts from the main topic of the argument. Whether done intentionally or not depends on the people arguing.
When an argument deteriorates and its focus becomes one about word definitions rather than the main topic, a person will usually say "Oh, now we're just arguing semantics". Usually by this point, the arguement has become a waste of time because it has morphed into a bunch of bickering about irrelevant, unimportant details rather than the original main point.
If someone accuses you of arguing semantics, they're usually accusing you of intentionally avoiding the topic. In this case, the person may or may not be misusing the phrase in order to do so. If you're not actually arguing about word definitions, then they should accuse you of being nit-picky instead (as that would be more accurate) but to explain it to this degree becomes a bit nit-picky in and of itself and so for obvious reasons, this is the end.

Jenny: Hey Tommy, did you do your homework?
Tommy: I would never do my homework.
Jenny: What do you mean? You always do your homework!
Tommy: No, I would never "do" my homework - that would be gross. But if you want to know if I completed my homework...
Jenny: Oh, please. Spare me. Now you're just arguing semantics.
Tommy: I would never do my homework.

Get the arguing semantics mug.When arguing with someone and the other party distracts the topic by resorting to appeals of emotion, belief and other logical fallacies.
The conversation gets caught in a loop. As it reads on the back of a shampoo bottle at the end of the instructions...rinse and repeat.

"X must exist. I just saw a poll that says 90% of all Americans believe in X."
"99% of everyone once thought the world was flat. They had no evidence and were proven wrong by people who sought the truth."
"X must exist! If X did not exist, then the world would be a horrible place!"
"You'll be able to move on. Its only in your mind that X influences your life."
"I acknowledge that I have no argument for the existence of X. However, I have a great desire for X to exist. Therefore I accept that X exists."
"This is like arguing with a shampoo bottle. You're stuck in a loop of rinse and repeat."

Get the arguing with a girl mug.A funny image that perfectly describes those crazy people who argue on the net by comparing them to a member of the special olympics. (The other guy defining this obviously does it)
Example of arguing on the internet.
Person A: *Cry cry cry* you are not good *sook sook sook*.
Person B: Take a look at this image.
