Argy-bargy as blood spilled during World Cup match

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Violence erupted between a group of Thai and Chinese men during the Argentina vs Iceland World Cup match on Saturday.

 

CCTV showed the five men fighting at a restaurant near the Nawanghin intersection in Phanat Nikom, Chonburi.

 

A Chinese man was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital.

 

When Phanat Nikom police arrived they found broken bottles, smashed glasses and blood. The victim had already been taken to the local hospital.

 

Witness Phimprapha, 23, said all the men were gas fitters and had arrived together. Tempers flared as disagreements over the football mounted as the game continued at 1-1.

 

Three Chinese and two Thais started fighting, she said. They were all drunk. A Chinese man called "Leo" started it, said the witness.

 

Police are investigating.

 

Argy-bargy is a chiefly British term used to indicate a dispute. It became especially popular after the Falklands War of 1982 between Argentina and the UK.

I guess that was same like stating that you were wrong, and there was no sensible explaination, right?

raging bull comes close, but food is generally inferior here. thankfully i split my time.

Argy-bargy was a late nineteenth-century modification of a Scots phrase, which appeared early in the same century in the form argle-bargle. The first part of this older version was a modification of argue. Who on earth connected this to the Falklands War? Great research and reporting....not!!

A phrase that I was well accustomed too long before 1982
