Title: Need help from Philw or other Aussies

I read this story today, and from the context I think I know what "argy-=bargy" is, but thought I would ask for an English (Aussie) - Engligh (USA) translation. Thanks.

Clothed Tourist at Nudist Swingers Party Sparks 'Mini-Riot'

Thursday, March 05, 2009

A tourist who refused to take his clothes off at a swinger sex party has been blamed for "a mini-riot" at a north Queensland, Australia, nudist colony.

Police were called amid threats of violence and lewd behavior and ordered the Brisbane man and his wife from the adults-only "anything goes" sex party.

The White Cockatoo resort at Mossman, near Port Douglas, is promoting swingers and sex parties in a month of hedonism for March in a bid to boost sagging tourism figures.

Once billed as the nation's top group-sex hotspot for swingers, the resort made international headlines last year when The Courier-Mail first reported plans to lift a self-imposed swinger ban.

Owner Tony Fox said the "mini-riot" erupted when four naked female guests protested when confronted by the fully-clothed man.

"They felt uncomfortable with him eyeing them off and I asked him to show some respect and take his clothes off," said the nudist colony manager. "He then threatened to bash me, there was some argy-bargy and I ordered him off the premises and police were called."

argy-bargy is mostly  British Slang  that we some time use here it is an argument  sometimes with some pushing about ( really trying to say on topic considering what is apparently going on up there )
