#2: Contraremonstrance

Definition:

: a remonstrance to a remonstrance

About the Word:

Contraremonstrance is a lovely word, and would appear to be useful at so many points in one's life that it is odd that it has never quite caught on (it appears to be used mainly to write about ecclesiastic schisms and the like). There is no more dignified word with which to describe the banal quibbles that you and your significant other have over such weighty matters as whose turn it is to take the recycling down to the basement.
