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.

Get the arguing semantics mug.A simant loves boobs. He is the most nastiest person you’ll ever get to know, but in a good way. A simant doesn’t easily get attached to things but when he does, he’ll love you unconditionally. A simant is a guy who minds his own businesses and literally gives no shit about what people think. He will never show you who he really is until he trusts you, so never judge a simant if you don’t really know him because his awkwardness might be mistaken for something else. A simant is also very selfish, but when it comes to relationships that means he will give you all his attention and want you all to himself. Also, if you ever get to be close to a simant he will always make you feel like you can be yourself. Don’t ever let a simant go because he is really one of a kind.
