What does SPAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A brief, petty quarrel or disagreement, usually not serious.
A spat is smaller and less serious than a proper argument, often over something trivial, and it tends to blow over quickly, unlike a lasting feud. The same spelling is also the past tense of the verb spit and, separately, names the tiny young of an oyster, but the quarrel sense is the one meant here.
