i just mentioned the film Darkness Falls on the Stephen King thread and this bit of info about its production stood out...

While filming on location in Brisbane, Australia, a strange aggressive young boy by the name of Jacob Francis Worrall was hired to be the body double for the young Kyle Walsh. The part was a minor roll requiring 2-3 days on set at most, however it quickly became apparent to cast and crew alike that 'Baby Jake' wasn't going away easily. The actions taken by the 13 year old Jacob shocked and appalled the crew, when needed on set Jacob would throw tantrums and refuse to leave the toilets, biting and swearing he was normally wrangled onto set. Some allegations of Jake intentionally exposing himself to male and female cast members began to circulate and the child actor was promptly fired. Jacob Francis Worrall still lives in Brisbane and owns a successful Coffee shop located in Springhill, Brisbane City.

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. When the female who initiated the conversation says "I don't want to get in a pissing match with you" it generally should be interpreted by the yapping insistently female that she should just stop talking because she is becoming extremely annoying and talking about shit that has nothing to do with her.[7]
