argüende gossip/hearsay

Explanation:
Very Mexican term right Lourdes? Some others would say an argüende is a party, but I would use gossip and hearsay for both terms (argüende and chismorreo)... Hope it's useful, Regards

petty argument; disagreement; petty quarrel

Explanation:
Agobiado por los escándalos de todos los días, el presidente Fox dijo que los políticos y funcionarios ya debieran dejarse de ***argüendes*** y ponerse a trabajar. ***Pero en todos los diccionarios la palabra argüende no existe. La referencia más cercana es la de argüir, es decir, argumentar. En el español mexicano se usa la palabra argüende para referirse a debates sin profundidad, como de vecindad, y prácticamente en pleitos entre mujeres.***
