Wordfuse (Spousal Edition)









fiddlestickler (noun): fiddlesticks + stickler = a person lacking compromise who stubbornly insists on something, something really quite inconsequential, pointless or petty. Fiddlesticklers express impatience when others do not jump on the their bandwagons-to-nowhere. See wives; see husbands.

Sounds like a certain sister in law I have the misfortune to know.

She is beyond irrational.

Want to go all Ninja on her ass.
