quaint quibbles 

The "vintage" whiny-toned "petty-squabbles" bu**s**t that Abigail VanBuren "recycles" from question-letters that she received way back in the '60's and '70's... sawdusty-dry boring "outdated" crap that we modern and more-socially-enlightened folks "know better now" than to create or encounter, but that we're all forced to suffer through on Abby's daily column, as if it's actually still valid "current-times" stuff.
An example of the "quaint quibbles" that are seldom an issue nowadays, but which still seem to irritatingly form the bulk of Ms. VanBuren's column:
Dear Abby,
I am getting married to "Sam" in June. My future mother-in-law, "Claire", wants to be our wedding-planner; she reasons that since she is hosting (and largely funding, as neither I nor my fiancé have spare cash) the wedding, she should be allowed to dictate the wedding-arrangements, and to choose which guests to invite. "Claire" comes from a strictly-orthodox and conservative background, and so she wants our wedding to be formal and dignifierd, whereas my husband-to-be and I prefer a simpler and more-casual setting. In addition, "Claire" has really atrocious tastes when it comes to decor; frankly, her house resembles the inside of a ghost-mansion, with dark curtains, drab wallpaper, etc. So "Sam" and I fear that "Claire" will ruin our wedding with her cheerless presentation-ideas, plus she has occasionally hinted not-so-subtly that she disapproves of many of our friends, claiming they are too "trendy" and undignified. We want our "special day" to be just that --- special, which means being surrounded by the people we enjoy, not just the insipid and overly-judgemental folks whom "Claire" approves of.
Abby, how can we preserve our amicable footing with "Claire" (she will soon be part of our extended family, after all), while maintaining the enjoyment of ourselves and our wedding-guests?

The Quibbler 

Part of a phrase that usually goes (after one has stated a very unbelievable story) Oh yeah? Where'd you hear that? the Quibbler? -laughs ensue- This references the newspaper The Quibbler that Xenophilius Lovegood of the Harry Potter series prints on a regular basis, which is usually full of ridiculous sightings of fictional creatures and outlandish stories.

Cornelius: HA! Where'd you hear that? The Quibbler?

-laughter from all but Rutherford-

Rutherford: -cries-

Quibbledorf 

The smaller, lesser-known fifth House of Hogwarts. It is a kind of special-ed House where the wizards with mental handicaps are placed. The House color is chartreuse yellow so that the often wandering students can be found easily. Quidditch is played on the gound with cones and a Nerf ball and the players all wear helmets. The Quibbledorf Trio is Leroy (Harry) who has Tourette's and a stutter, Rain (Hermione) who is mentally handicapped and stares and drools and Sampson (Ron) who has a hunchback and is in love with Rain, constantly wiping her drool.

Can also be used as a way to describe someone doing something stupid.

Quibbledick

1. (n.) A bro who can't make decisions on his own, needs the reliance of others to stay cool, make other friends, and steals their jokes/ behaviors and trademarks them for his own.

It would be improper to associate a full-sized penis and manhood with a quibbledick, so this term accurately points out his "deformities."
Every group of friends has a quibbledick parasite on their hands
