The "Q" Club!
 
This is a thread dedicated to the letter "Q"!

Use this thread for any discussion related to (one of) the most under-used English letter, "Q"!

http://www.creationsu.com/shop/images/tsmq.jpg
(Q)

This is the definition from the Oxford Dictionary for the letter "Q":

Q /kju:/
- noun (also q) [C, U] (pl. Q's, q's /kju:z/) The 17th letter of the English alphabet: "Queen" begins with (a) "Q".
- abbr. question

As we can see, unlike most other letters in the alphabet, Q has no real meaning of its own, except as an abbreviation of the word "question". Also, Q is one of the least used letters in the alphabet, because there are not many words begin with a Q.
However, Q is my favorite letter in the alphabet, because:
1. Q is round, but unlike O, it's not perfectly round, thus it indicates that nothing is perfect.
2. In (almost) every English word, Q used followed by the letter U, making them inseparable, just like how close friends and families should be.
3. When Q is turned upside down, it looks like a bomb.
4. Q is Q.

So, let's start talking about Q! Everything to do with the letter "Q" is welcome here, including strange or funny usages of Q, pictures of and/or related to Q, new words or abbreviations beginning with Q, etc, etc...

What does your post have to do with the topic?

~Solarys~ October 13th, 2006 11:13 PM

LOL!
Thanks gs135790 - you're in!

Q does look cool doesnt it =3
Don't know why it's so~~ under-used in English... ><
Maybe all cool-looking letters aren't used much in English... like X and Z, but I don't like them - they're just too simple and straight, lol. But Q is SPECIAL, because Q is the only letter that goes over the bottom line when you type it in capital (in most fonts like Ariel and TNR).

LOL! I bet you haven't seen these sort of topics before, haha - I just want to be CREATIVE! :D

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 14th, 2006 10:20 AM

I use it at least once or twice a day, like when I say ThanQ to people :D

~Solarys~ October 15th, 2006 12:03 AM

ThanQ... LOL thats a new one!

1 of my mates use Q as a wildcard letter, lol, because it's so underused...
I.e. He uses Q to mask those "sensitive" letters in abbreviations, like he writes OMFG as OMQG, and WTF as WTQ etc. and he writes the F word as FuQ... at the beginning we were like WTF r u talking about, but now we're all used to it.
Q is a good sensor bypasser, lol!

Anyway what gets me is where OMGWTFBBQ came from... lol.

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 17th, 2006 1:16 PM

lol @ WTQ

I think I'll start using that :D

~Solarys~ October 17th, 2006 4:27 PM

rofl...
we all started using that on MSN chat, just because he started it and always uses it... we had no idea what WTQ is supposed to mean, but we just assumed it meant WTF... lol, like OMQG, but thats obvious.

btw, Q is worth 10 points in scrabble, same as Z, but it has an advantage over Z because Q is always used with U (some extra points) and is never used double, but Z is sometimes used in doubles as in BUZZ.

Anacortes October 19th, 2006 4:31 PM

Well we Chinese people use '3Q' as an online term for 'thank-you' .. hahaha

I wonder why it's such an under-used word. It's so .. idk, elegant! xD Can I join?

~Solarys~ October 19th, 2006 9:01 PM

LOL wtf @ 3Q... (why not 4Q, 5Q....1337Q... inf*Q??? rofl)
thats an 00ber random one... even more random than WTQ....

and, yup, you're in =D

Anacortes October 20th, 2006 12:49 PM

well the number '3' is prononuced 'san' so it's kinda like 'san-q'

xD

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 20th, 2006 5:15 PM

OH...I understand...I think...

O_Q

^Its crying :D

There are so many uses for Q!

[Edit]btw, I made >this<

Yea, that explains it, the chinese (and other asian) ppl cant seem to distinguish between s and th, and sometimes, l and r...

Haha, nice one...

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 28th, 2006 9:54 AM

*lol* I like your sig. What font is that? I like the Q :D

~Solarys~ October 30th, 2006 9:53 PM

Courier New I guess... not too sure, I just chose a random one that can fit all 26 Q's in 1 line, lol...

Gary, the Magic Fairy November 2nd, 2006 3:14 PM

Its on two lines for me, I'm using the left avatar display.

Oh, it is Courier New, I checked and it looks about the same.

~Solarys~ November 3rd, 2006 12:08 AM

ah, ok.
Maybe because I'm using a 1440x1050 resolution that they appear on 1 line, lol.

Gary, the Magic Fairy November 22nd, 2006 11:53 AM

>Q<
^thing I made

Ok, we need something to talk about...um...
How do you write your Q's?

I usually make either a O with a line through it(http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/413/myq1br0.gif), or a square with a line through the bottom(http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/5656/myq2qx1.gif)

~Solarys~ November 23rd, 2006 5:46 AM

LOL i normally write it like how you write a 2 - draw a circle from the back and draw a curvy line from where the circle starts and ends.

See the Q's in my sig? That's what my Q's are like, lol.

Anacortes November 29th, 2006 9:24 PM

QMIgoodiness, this club is still around! I haven't been on PC for a bit.. :S

Solarys - your user title and avatar, it's amazingly interesting, I wonder why I hadn't noticed it before. xQ

~Solarys~ December 2nd, 2006 3:17 AM

O RLY??? XQ

You mean OMFGWTFBBQ? LOL I like the owls around the random candle, it does give you a sense of WTF-ness, XQ...

Although I have no idea in hell what OMFGWTFBBQ is supposed to mean, lol... I know OMFG goes with WTF, but the BBQ doesn't seem to fit in...

XQ...

PS: Grey, I like your XQ, lol!

Anacortes December 2nd, 2006 9:54 AM

Hehe thanks.. xQ

I'm guessing perhaps, the fire in the candle has something to do with it?

Đ a r κ December 2nd, 2006 10:05 AM

I would like to join this club. Also why is it that cucumber starts with a c instead of a Q I mean come on >>>>>Qucomber<<<<<< that is so much better.

Anacortes December 2nd, 2006 10:08 AM

Yay, new member.. welcome! ^_^

Lol, I really don't know, because 'Cucumber' looks nicer?

~Solarys~ December 6th, 2006 12:08 AM

LOL yeah...

BTW, in the Burger King store at Auckland city, there's like a random A4 sized sign in front of the counters thats says "PLEASE 'Q' HERE", lol...

I was like WTF? Like we don't know where to queue...? I mean, seriously, where else would they expect us to queue? Behind the counters...??? Über WTFness... LOL!

EDIT:
The sign looks like this:

PLEASE

"Q"

HERE.

Đ a r κ December 6th, 2006 6:03 PM

Hm, maby it means "Please smoke here" The Q does kinda look like someone smoking. Or maby it is a new lanquage. In that case Q, QQ, Q, QQQ , Q, QQ

LOL What the Q???///QUESTIONMARK

Đ a r κ December 7th, 2006 4:31 AM

I just remembered these two signs that I saw while riding the bus from school, not sure if I remember them exactly but it was something like this.
First sign
Dead End

Second sign
No turn arounds

So if you go into the dead end, you are stuck there?

thats kinda...odd, and spelled wrong...well, wrong from what you were trying to spell.

(Qcumber)

welcome, btw ^^

~Solarys~ December 7th, 2006 9:34 PM

Haha, lol...

Have you seen a SFF PC case called the Q-Box... I was like WTQ?

It looks like a Shuttle but bigger than Shuttle, it uses normal mATX motherboards not like Shuttle's Pico-BTX, so it gives you far better upgrading potential.

I'll try to find a pic of it and post it here. xQ

Gary, the Magic Fairy December 8th, 2006 10:42 PM

I seriously have no idea WTQ you are talking about.

lol, Maybe I should get some sleep, I can't really understand big words right now.

Q _ Q

~Solarys~ December 9th, 2006 12:13 AM

I certainly cannot find anything Q about it, lol, but I'll buy it just for its name: Q-box sounds kewl, rofl!

Anacortes January 4th, 2007 11:02 PM

This club was like, two days off from being officially dead. T__T Why dosen't anyone else post here? I don't come on PC very much.

Hehe.. nice signature too, by the way.

Midori Chi January 6th, 2007 5:09 PM

Actually, the limit is 30 days or higher, which it has been. ^^'
