A List of My Favorite Words Beginning with the Letter Q
Quisling, quorum, quat
Quibble, quarrel, quab, quadroon
Quark, quotidian
In junior high we would take turns picking out a word to learn and have on our spelling test every week. Mike what's-his-face picked the word quadroon, and I have remembered it ever since. In the seventh grade Mike was big and spongey and fat, and my nick name for him was "Baby Huey". When he came back in the 8th grade he was all skinny and buff and muscled. From then on my nick name for him was "Steer Legs," because he had this enormous upper body and teeny little legs. I can only imagine what people called me.
