EN: heated debate; intense argument
That moment in a family reunion when politics or religion comes up. It's not just a debate; it's a full-on, sabay-sabay, no-holds-barred exchange of opinions. Think of a Senate hearing, but with more passion and fewer rules of order. Everyone's talking, no one's listening.
