I agree. 'Bicker' is the best word to fit here.

But note that 'bicker' is a <em>word. </em>It is not *'a vocabulary'.

The word 'vocabulary' cannot be used in the way that you are trying to use it in your question. 'Vocabulary' is uncountable, and it means a set of words. Your own 'vocabulary' can be big or small, wide or narrow, depending on how many words you know in a language. You might want to expand your vocabulary, or improve your business-related vocabulary. It can't be used to refer to a single word, however. A word is an item of vocabulary in the same way as a ring or necklace is an item of jewellery.
