Nitpicking
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "other uses".
Nitpicking is a term, first attested in 1956, that describes the action of giving too much attention to unimportant detail.[1][2] A person who nitpicks is termed as a nitpicker.[1][3]
The terminology originates from the common act of manually removing nits (the eggs of lice, generally head lice) from another person's hair.-4|[4]
As nitpicking inherently requires fastidious attention to detail, the term has become appropriated to describe the practice of meticulously searching for minor, even trivial errors in detail.[5]
Nitpicking has been used to describe dishonest insurers[6] and bullying employers, or even bullying family members.[7]
