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...

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). Quote:

I use it at least once or twice a day, like when I say ThanQ to people :D
|
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. |
lol @ WTQ
I think I'll start using that :D |
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. |
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? |
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 |
well the number '3' is prononuced 'san' so it's kinda like 'san-q'
xD |
OH...I understand...I think...
O_Q ^Its crying :D There are so many uses for Q! [Edit]btw, I made >this< |

*lol* I like your sig. What font is that? I like the Q :D
|
Courier New I guess... not too sure, I just chose a random one that can fit all 26 Q's in 1 line, lol...
|
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. |
ah, ok.
Maybe because I'm using a 1440x1050 resolution that they appear on 1 line, lol. |
>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) |
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. |
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 |
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! |
Hehe thanks.. xQ
I'm guessing perhaps, the fire in the candle has something to do with it? |
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.
|
Yay, new member.. welcome! ^_^
Lol, I really don't know, because 'Cucumber' looks nicer? |
