debate.

finagolo, n. Satirical argument built around insult humour. Commonly used to release pressure when tensions are high. While the aggression and antipathy between the two participants are real, well-organized fínagoloi are typically encapsulated inside of a larger dramatic presentation or structured around a thesis (called an eklíyide) which prevents derailment.
