With all the fighting we do and all the skirmishing we do, the reality is that New Yorkers can come together when they have to.

American Politician

Skirmishing refers to smaller conflicts, less serious than all-out battles.

It can be used metaphorically for any small-scale, brief dispute, not actual fighting.

'Skirmishing' doesn't always imply physical confrontations; it can be verbal or ideological.

When skirmishing, people are actively engaging in brief disputes or disagreements.

Skirmishing often suggests a temporary conflict that may not lead to a long-term issue.

Skirmishing can imply different levels of seriousness depending on context, tone, and setting.
