The Origin of the CWCism "Q-Sand"?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Chris seems to abbreviate words weirdly, like saying "y-adult" instead of "young adult." I wouldn't be surprised if he got the idea from a McDonald's bag but God only knows about Chris's logic sometimes.
 
Chris tries to make a lot of abbreviations and shorthand phrases, like pretty much all of us. However, da autism means that the things he comes up with don't make sense to anybody else. I don't know how long McDonald's has been saying QPC (In-N-Out Burger is my preferred fast food restaurant), but that particular email was written about two years ago, so it probably predates QPC.
 
the thing is that he abbreviates very strangely. and it is rather vague for anyone else trying to understand his meanings.
 
I wonder about that when it first came up, are we sure "q-sand" stands for "quarter of a sandwich", especially given that he doesn't seem to know what the word "quarter" means (c-quarters and w-quarters anyone??)? Could it actually stand for "quarter pounder sandwich" in OPL's mind instead? It would certainly make more sense of that situation at the restaurant (forget the name) and give better reason for the manager/owner to complain if Barb were munching down on a whole quarter pounder instead of a tiny portion of a chicken sandwich that really would've been gone after one bite.

When I first heard q-sand, I thought the same thing, but Chris explicitly states "a quarter of a chicken sandwich" in the Jackie E-Mails:
Chris said:
From August 5, 2011: [..] Mom had a quarter of a chicken sandwich from McD; she brought it in with her.

It's entirely likely that there was more to their quarrel than a q-sand. Barb is that petty as to fight over a scrap of food, but I agree; I don't really think it would have been enough to warrant a manager's ire, either. Barb did something and later her and Chris just revised the story to make them look like victims.
 
But then who knows if he knows what a "quarter" is. Maybe it was really more like half a sandwich, or maybe Chris thinks the McD's chicken patty comprises "a quarter of a chicken".

Ah I had missed that. Thanks for clearing that for me. I still doubt Chris knew what the word quarter means, so maybe Barb told him it was a quarter sandwich and he just went with q-sands to sound clever.

Many of us have worked retail and have encountered the smell of pure white trash. After serving my time at Wal-Mart and Toys R Us I know that rednecks and white trash will pick fights over anything and everything. I am not surprised in the least that Barb, the living incarnation of white trash, decided to pick a fight in a diner about a fucking cold quarter of the fast food garbage sandwich while her ailing and very ill husband presumably sat there trying to eat.

Not only is Chris a jerk but so is his mother. I know the opinion about Bob is mixed but jesus, fuck. The poor guy just wanted what could have been his last meal and the witch has to pick a fucking fight over garbage food leftovers. Oh, and pour her sweet tea into a filthy cup in the car so none of it was wasted. Ew.
 
Where I live we do not have much of this redneck/white trash thing, but we do have plenty of ghetto black people or as Chris would refer to them, niggos. Skin color aside, ghetto rats are no different from white trash. Part of my job entails helping and serving customers, and unfortunately the behavior described recently in this thread is also commonly displayed by these niggos. I can usually spot one by their clothing - regular black or white people dress more normally, with rednecks/white trash you can often tell that they are by their clothing, and niggos are not different - weaves, ugly earrings, sagging pants, etc etc. They also love to pick fights over the most retarded thing, and also demand that the rules be bent for them. One woman wanted something and I would not give it to her because to do so would be violating the rules, and also be unfair to the other customers who followed the rules. Of course, she thought she was too speshul for the rules. She started yelling at me and throwing a hissy fit even after I calmly explained to her the rules and that other customers who had followed the rules would be served first. My manager had to get involved, and this woman stomped off.

Yes, she literally stomped off like a 2 year old after being told that she could not have a cookie or some shit. I've also had other customers become belligerent and trying to place themselves above the rules and try to talk over me when I try to explain this or that to them.

Human trash is trash, regardless of skin color.

Edit - I now see that I am ranked a Niggo because I have over 300 posts. Yay me.

Agreed. It's for this reason I dislike the term "white trash", even though I realize it's intended to disparage a person's behavior, not their race. When a person is trash, there is no need to assign a color to it.

"White trash" is used, because lower class people in our country are automatically assumed to be minorities.

I lived in one of those communities for three years. Mid '90s Granite City, Illinois. Half of my Cub Scout troop didn't have a phone.

I question this. The "redneck" stereotype is very common, and usually suggests someone who is white.

Hi you must be from Tumblr. Please remove your political correctness, and white guilt before entering this forum. Thank you :tomgirl:

Maybe it wasn't the first time Barb had brought in her old leftovers to the diner instead of ordering food and the owner finally just got fed up over it.
 
This is what gets me over the whole Barb at Riley's Deal: She's having words with Riley, and here's Bob just sitting at the table. From Chris' lack of description, I assume Barb and Riley are exchanging words, and Bob is just sitting there oblivious. Barb leaves, and is more than happy to leave Bob. And Bob's not interested enough in the whole deal to either defend his wife or leave with her on principle, if nothing else. If someone in my party got into it with the staff, I believe we would all leave at the same time. Also, most people I dine with don't do things to provoke the staff out of consideration of the fact that other members of the party probably aren't ready to leave yet and they don't want to force action on their part. Had this happened so often that Bob just got used to it, and decided at some point Chris and/or Barb would no longer ruin dining experiences for him?
Barb must've laid out a whole place setting in order to eat that Q-Sand. How else would they have really noticed someone consuming a freaking fourth of a McDonald's chicken sandwich? Honestly, it must have been some huge, in-your-face production in order to get the owner riled up. I know I could've ate a Q-Sand and not got caught. It would've been like popping a couple pieces of gum in your mouth.
 
She could've eaten that q-sand as she walked in. It's like, not even two inches of food. What, has she lost all of her teeth and now has to gum at her whole-sands for hours? Goddamn, Barb.

Bob seemed to be the kind of guy who was embarrassed about his wife's sperg tantrums and so would just ignore them and pretend like he didn't know the geriatric podunk cooze ranting about eating outside food in someone's restaurant.
 
Ah yes, the Chandler mantra, ignore it, it's not happening, and if it is, it will go away.

It could have also been the tipping point, for a series of problems or complaints, not unlike Chris' banning from the GAMe PLACe. Barb and/or Chris might have done enough, over a period of time, that the management or owners were looking for any excuse to ban them at that point.

The most idiotically-audacious part is Barb arguing store policy with the eponymous owner of the business. And, to then martyr herself over a quarter of a McDonald's chicken sandwich, while her dying husband is trying to eat... Crazy. Just crazy. Again, it's the kind of story that if you pitched it as part of a biography, people would swear was fictional, because of how stupid it all sounds.
