quisquilian / kwis-KWIL-ee-uhn / adjective : 1. Worthless, trifling.
Notes & Etymology: From the Latin word quisquiliae 'rubbish, refuse, junk; odds and ends'.
Usage: “It is painful to attack a writer as young in years and in time spent
working at his craft as Chris Columbus, yet what are we to make of
someone whose credits to date include Reckless, Gremlins, Goonies and
the quisquilian subject under examination here?"
Harlan Ellison and Leonard Maltin; Harlan Ellison's Watching; M Press; 2008
