How often are 'fall out' and 'argue' used?
I've read the meaning of 'fall out' in Spanish is "pelar/discutir" like 'argue'. Is this correct? Is 'fall out' more informal than 'argue'?
Thank you!

Question

Answer

Typically, "fall out" is used in the phrase "to have a falling out."  Here is an example:
Joan and Tammy had a falling out two years ago and have not spoken to each other since.
A "falling out" implies much more than a simple argument.  It means that two people have had such disagreement that they now have nothing to do with one another.  "Estrangement" would be a synonym to a "falling out."

To describe a more simple disagreement, you can use the verbs "to argue" and "to fight."

Hope this helps.
