A pissing contest among females can refer to an insentient need to feel important and right when talking to other females about topics that have absolutely nothing to do with them. When one female continually yaps on spewing information that is not relevant to the topic of discussion.

After leaving the Foghat organization in 1993, Erik Cartwright was hired by Pat Travers as second lead guitarist in his band. The relationship lasted only a few weeks, and Cartwright was again out of work, but still with the shoes.
