Scottish Review of Books - Queequeg No. 10

17D. Silly person chooses to split hairs (3-5). However there are 9 spaces. I have N-T-I-K-S. I thought that NITPICKS answers the clue, but doesn't work with 9 letters. Any ideas?

Wee Stinker Scratch bow

The answer to the above clue looks very like 'retire'. I understand the 'scratch' bit but not the 'bow', without 'out'. Does 'bow' mean 'retire'?
