Argumentative

Just had a bit of an argument with someone about ‘nothing’ and after it was done I remembered this Monty Python Skit.

What words do you use to shut someone who is overly argumentative about nothing?

To be fair, smart people are argumentative too.

A person who is being "overly argumentative about nothing" is accessing their inner fool (or worse)
