一言不合 is typically used to indicate the trigger for a subsequent event (often a quarrel or fight), rather than as a self-contained description of a disagreement.

In particular, I think the current gloss "to clash verbally" describes what typically follows 一言不合, rather than describing 一言不合 itself:
一言不合 → 对骂 / 起口角 / 起冲突 / 大打出手 / 杀人 / 辞职

TP
最常見的是三角戀愛的男女主角當著鏡頭一言不合大打出手。

他堅信教官應該退出校園,和教官經常一言不合對罵,

我很容易衝動,常常一言不合就與別人起衝突。

男子隨即循線前往談判,一言不合下,早有預謀的他竟當場以水果刀殺死年僅20歲的前女友,斷送一條年輕生命。

往往雙方一言不合,就一時衝動地輕率辭職。
