Disagreements about San Francisco tailor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiffs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disagreements' is the definition.
(I know this)

'about san francisco tailor' is the wordplay.
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'san francisco' becomes 'sf' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'tailor' becomes 'fit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sf'+'fit'='sffit'
'sffit' backwards is 'TIFFS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tiffs that I've seen before include "Arguments" , "Huffs; squabbles" , "Small quarrels" , "Spats" , "Petty quarrels" .)
