The Origin of the CWCism "Q-Sand"?

[The Dude]

The bedazzling is just to inflict extra pain with the sharp fake rhinestones when Barb whomps Riley upside the head with that thing.

... but would she have a whole Sheetz hot dog or just a q-dog?

She probably already ate some on the ride over, but didn't want to fill herself up since she was just about to eat at Riley's. So I would guess she probably had a half of the hot dog. Or an H-H-Dog.

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.

I can't help but feel bad for any McDonald's employee that hears this actually being used. I know I'd have no clue what they're talking about.

 

[The Dude]

Well, because he wanted a cool-sounding abbreviation so he came up with Q-Sand, which of course, backfires because it doesn't sound remotely cool whatsoever.

abbreviate to the extreme

I think you mean "abbreviate 2 da x-treme".

Go Sonichu, and Abbreviate to the Extreme!

Now I wonder if the Chandlers would try to buy a H-H-Dog for a quarter, whether C or otherwise.

No, no. H-H-Dogs are $0.50 so you buy them with $0.50 pieces, or H-Dollars. Abbreviated to it's most extreme would be H-$s.

Just the tip. She is a lady after all.

Is it weird that all this talk about hamburgers is making me want one? It's been ages since I've had a McDonald's cheeseburger. Flattened buns with limp lettuce, corrugated cow meat, plastic cheese melted until the edges take on a crisp sheen...

You know, I'll make that bowl of chili for dinner after all.

I will! TY, fthr!

I am from Alabama and live in a pretty white area with a lot of trailers and stuff. In fact I have two trailers living on my parents land (they pay us $200 dollars rent a month) and so I hear and use the term white trash pretty daily.

Despite what you might think of white people from rural Alabama the term nigger is not really use that much unless it is by an older white person. However, white trash is a term that we all use.

I am not trying to start a thread fight. I am just giving my experince as a white person from rural Alabama

Respect man, I lived in Alabama my whole childhood beautiful place, anyway yeah I can conform the people in the deep south don't say "nigger" as often as people think, my entire childhood I heard it said only a handful of times (mostly by my grampa lol) I've heard it said in malice like 2 maybe 3 times.

 

[ChurchOfGodBear]

People who have used both terms would tell me "You got black people, and you got niggers. You got white people, and you got white trash. There's a difference."

I agree, there is a difference. I just don't see the need to bring a person's race into it when what I really object to is their class, or lack thereof. Barb would be neither more nor less offensive to me if she were black or asian or hispanic. She's trash.

I never thought they said it that frequently in the deep south, but that that they weren't afraid to say it sometimes when they felt they could justify it. And really, the number of times you can justify saying "nigger" should be pretty close to zero.

Now, one thing I didn't think they still had down south, but they still do: racially segregated proms. The parents go out of their way to fund private proms so they can legally keep the black people out.

Wow, that's just sad.

Please tell me that particular Southern tradition is on the decline.

this is still happening? Well, fuck.

And the whole 'white people and white trash, black people and niggers' thing is exactly how I feel. I've used the word nigger before but only in private conversations with a few friends who feel the same way I do (mainly when I bitch about rude ghetto customers) and never in front of black people. If a white person yelled out that word in the ghetto in the city I live, you can bet they'd get their ass kicked. But then I don't hesitate to use the term white trash, and I use that just as much as I say nigger if not more, though saying white trash is a lot less likely to spur outrage than nigger.

Unless you're dealing with a Goddamn womanizing, raping, trollin' stupid, pickle suited niggo!

It should be noted in that segeragated town. The area where the highest black population is also badly maintained. The sewage system is so bad that it runs up in bathtubs. However, the white side of the town has been well kept and that doesn't happen.

One school recently put together it's first desegregated prom, organized by students. Some of the parents still put together a white only prom, though. They can get away with this because once schools had to be desegregated the school board said the school would no longer put together it's own prom, that it'd be up to the parents to organize a prom. I imagine this is the same situation for all high schools with segregated proms in the country.

I'm guilty of using odd abbreviations in the past, but it was a symptom of having inferior keyboards in mobile devices. Chris does all his typing on a small iOS device, which I personally feel has a marginal virtual keyboard (I've tried over two dozen, and I hate SwiftKey the least). As such, I'd normally be inclined to excuse some odd abbreviations form someone on a phone handset. However, because he'll use them intermittently, I suspect he only uses them to sound unique. As well, for someone who has absolutely no obligations, I don't think time is a valuable commodity requiring Chris to economize his typing. I'm with the consensus; Chris be whack.

An anecdotal aside... I've been to just about every state of the union (spending a lot of time in coastal states with a Naval facility), and I've never heard racial slurs used in a derogatory manner (as opposed to in colloquial jest), more than Berkeley, CA. That genuinely surprised me, considering the public impression of Berkeley being a progressive hippie haven of acceptance and spirituality. I thought I was being punked by my "friends," until I ran into more and more random people dropping shit like "nigger," "spic," and "wetback" left and right. It was said so casually, too. It was never directed at any specific person that was present, mind you, but privately among themselves. It was also odd they felt comfortable enough to do this when I was around, despite me looking reasonably Latin American (at least I think so). At least I never heard any non-ironic gay slurs. Ann Arbor, near-north Chicago, Virginia Beach, Hampton/Newport News, D.C., and Baltimore were also pretty bad, while I rarely saw it in deep Southern states (though, I felt I was ignored more in Southern and Southwestern states).
