Had a fall-out with or had a falling out with? which one is correct?
It seems that it necessarily involves arguments,but if two friend had a physical fight and then stopped associating with each other, what expression is more appropriate to use? Thanks

Well, in both cases you have the word had, which is past tense.
Just because you put a verb there that does not mean it's in the current state. Other things indicates that.
"Had a fall-out with each other" Fall out means a quarrel, to leave, to happen and to occur. A verb and many languages indicates occurrence.
You could use the verb falling or you could say "fall-out", they both talk about an occurrence.
They are having a huge fall-out. Meaning that they are still quarreling. It's all about how you set the sentence up. Certain phrases are past and present also.
If they stopped associating with each other I think had is better to use than have. I think both of them are correct due to the tense of "fall-out"
