Can "Discuta" mean argument

I heard "discuta" used in the context of argument, where you would expect "discusión", but "discuta" doesn't exist according to RAE. Does anyone know if this is a slang or ever used to mean argument? Thanks!

No, but discuta is a subjunctive form of the verb discutir, which means to argue.

You can also use 'discusión' n to mean argument

Argument n (quarrel disagrrement) = discusión

disputa n ( 'discusión', pelea) quarrel, argument

Or more heated (intense/passionate) argument; pelea n riña n (Esp)

I hope this helps grin
