The Origin of the CWCism "Q-Sand"?

[JULAY]

So I was tidying up my kitchen, and just getting ready to throw out a McDonald's bag that held this morning's Egg McMuffin, and I saw this written on the side (notice how it says "QPC Easier to say than ---> Quarter-Pounder with Cheese"):

What does everyone think? Did he read a McDonald's bag, take "QPC is faster than saying Quarter Pounder with Cheese!" and extrapolate it to every sandwich, and that's the origin story of "Q-Sand"?

I think that it is an abbreviation for "Quarter Sandwich". In one of the recently leaked emails, Chris tells a convoluted tale of the tribulations which Barb endured due to wanting to fill up her giant soda mug for free and eat outside food (a McDville q-sand) at the C-store attached to a Ruckersville gas station.

I think qsand means "quarter of a sandwhich" in Chris' walnut brain. But yeah, first time I saw "qsand" I thought "quarter pounder" at first too.

 

[cubesandcubes]

I wonder how many CWCquarters are required to purchase a q-sand in CWCville.

 

[JULAY]

Please re-read OP, I should have been more clear

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

Every time I see a fast food commercial since that email dropped, I can't help but think of burgers as whole q-sands.

And that's terrible.

 

[Henry Bemis]

It's a lose-lose situation: if he came with the term, he's a babbling idiot; if he took it from somewhere else, he's an unoriginal babbling idiot.

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

OP might be on to something. McDonalds is just the type of faceless, omnipresent corporation from whom Chris would take any bland terminology/marketing gimmick and think it was way past cool.

 

[cubesandcubes]

I just found out that there is a company called ‎Qsan, which makes SAN equipment.

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

I just went back and re-read the OP. That picture is basically saying, "why not call our burger the QPC? It's easier to say than Quarter Pounder with Cheese, after all!" It's essentially advocating laziness IN SPEECH.

Fuck. No wonder Chris is on board with that.

 

[Judge Holden]

personally I have put Chris's idiocy in this issue down to an especially retarded version of Orwell's Newspeak, albeit with the destruction of words done out of sheer laziness rather than as an attempt to limit "dangerous thoughts"

 

[CatParty]

The thing is that if you were to ask Chris to explain his crazy abbreviations, he'd tell you to google search their meanings yourself because he is that lazy.

But that is a good find on the bag. I have no doubt he is influenced by the marketing and other commercials. I mean, honestly he slathers himself in axe because of all the commercials telling him that girls will drop their panties for him if he reeks of it.

Chris was telling Jackie the story about his mom getting in a fight with the owner of Riley's (Riley herself). Riley was pissed at Barb for emptying her tea into a travel cup out in the car, and eating a quarter of a Mcchicken sandwich that she pulled from her pocket. Barb was innocent on the count of there being no sign posted that says "No outside food allowed." Since this story has so many interesting and vital details, Chris refers to the quarter of a Mcchicken as a "q-sand" multiple times.

I laugh at the term mostly because it's such a strange description, and the entire story of Barb's behavior in public that goes along with it. Who the hell saves less than half of a crummy McDonald's chicken pattie?

That's really what gets it for me. A fucking quarter of a mcdonalds chicken sandwich? That's like a bite or two, tops. And she had it in her purse? Goddamn, Barb's amazingly trashy.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

She's every bit as goddamn ridiculous as Chris, in her way. She's like the embodiment of every white trash redneck stereotype there's ever been, and is absolutely shameless.

It's one of those things I'd have a hard time believing if all the evidence wasn't staring me right in the face. Like I worked at a private golf club for a while, and was shocked to learn that like every "horrible, condescending, entitled, rich white person" stereotype I'd ever seen was actually a real, honest to Godbear thing.

 

[BALLZ-BROKEN]

What gets me is why not just say "QS" instead?

 

[HexBawxUno]

...Chris refers to the quarter of a Mcchicken as a "q-sand" multiple times.

Q-Sands are leftovers?

All this time, I thought Chris had meant he cuts the sandwich into quarters before eating.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Oh no, every q-sand has been separated into Q's by bite marks from Barb or Chris. Or sometimes both.

Though I do like to imagine that he specifically orders his sandwiches quartered.

The same person who stuffed that entire block of cheese pizza in his gullet?

I'd think utensils are a foreign concept here.

Oh, that's very interesting story. When I moved to San Francisco with two suitcases and I didn't know anyone, and I have, I hit YMCA with a $2000 check that I couldn't cash, I saw this woman at nearby coffee shop. We met and say hi to her and she tell me her name was Condoleezza. Anyway, so we start to talking and we find out we both like sandwiches. This makes me very happy, because I have been known a couple times to be a sandwich condo sewer. So I say, "Leezza, you should come visit over my apartment on Guerrero Street. We can eat my q-sand sally, real treat." I had earlier been to cafe which have barbecue sandwiches on their menu that they called q-sands, so I thought this was genius wordplay and thought this was great time to impress my woman with my words and my chefery. Back in New Orleans, I was well-known for making my famous sandwich sallies, which are have barbecued chicken salad and pickles on sesame seed bun. Leezza, she say to me, "Tommy! That is disgusting. You are a pervert." and I say "But baby, it is only chicken salad and pickles. What would you prefer? Anything for my princess". Anyway, so as it turns out, she thought I said my cousin Sally. Ha ha. I laugh "You are tearing my sides, Leezza! I don't have a cousin name Sally".
