quibble over words
gen. придираться к словам (Ремедиос_П)
inf. цепляться к словам (за находку англ. термина спасибо VLZ_58: I hate to quibble over words, but a painting can be stolen "from the Louvre" even if it's there on loan from a private collection, just as you could say, "The necklace was stolen from my jewelry box," without implying that your jewelry box was the legal owner of the necklace. 4uzhoj)
