custom:
Papua New Guineans view arguments between couples as the best form of entertainment, and the more arguments they make, the more loving they become. There are dedicated venues for couples to argue throughout the country. Whenever couples come here to face each other, the admirers will automatically come to cheer them up. If they argue a few words, their faces and ears will turn red, while people view the argument as more intense, the better the entertainment effect. Whoever can use the sharpest and most malicious language to put the other person in a difficult situation is considered to have the highest level of argument. Both sides will not stop until their lips and tongues stiffen. The couple will happily arm each other back home, and the entertainment will also end at the same time.
