gen. придираться к словам (Ремедиос_П)
inf. цепляться к словам (за находку англ. термина спасибо VLZ_58 • I hate to quibble over words, but a painting can be stolen "from the Louvre" even if it's there on loan from a private collection, just as you could say, "The necklace was stolen from my jewelry box," without implying that your jewelry box was the legal owner of the necklace. 4uzhoj)
mil. спорить о словах
