Bitch Semantics

When Sean feels like being a little bitch and argues the meaning of "never mind".

This condition is usually related to having sand in his vagina. Since he can't get it out he gets a little perturbed and all bitchy.

arguing semantics

A phrase commonly used as a rebuttal in arguments, with two common meanings:

1) The person using the phrase has been subjected to a statement or argument that they don't like, but can't argue against; or

2) The person using the phrase doesn't understand the argument, or objects to or doesn't understand the use of polysyllabic words.

Ive just made a code change. I expect semantic versioning to automatically increment, because bumping a version up (0.0.1 -> 0.0.2) by 1 is hard.
