Whats the word for...
    #7702455 - 12/01/07 11:26 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Is there a word for this:

When two people are silently fighting. Like, unconfrontationally fighting by like seeing who can go the longest without changing the radio station- b/c the song on it sucks. They both know that the song sucks and nobody likes it, but they want to act cool and see who can go the longest..... but without showing emotion towards it....

hope im describing it right.

Is there a word for that?

Durability is an applicable word, but if you're looking for a word that encapsulates a scenario like that, than no

Make one up

Fighting without any "real" confrontation is one of the manifestations of passive-aggressive behavior.

I meant that both people are in on it. And they are both kinda* aware that the other is in on it too, so there is this little hidden battle in the communal psyche of both. But on the surface all is calm.

Oh well, in that case, it seems like another random competition between friends.

A silent pissing competition?

I guess so, but it the situation would affect them both negatively (they both find the song sucky), I don't see why they would bother, since pa is meant to alleviate the confrontations of the person performing the action
