- Today’s English expression is “on a technicality.” A technicality is a small detail in the law or a set of rules. It’s usually procedural, so a “technicality” is usually not considered central to an argument or a procedure. This is most often used in the law, but you can also use it any time there are a lot of detailed rules in place.
