The question is: Can I quench your thirst for alliteration using Qs? Well, it is quite a quest, so please appreciate the quality, rather than quantity of words, as I quiver in quandary in my quiescent quarters.
Did you know that 'book' in Scottish is called a 'quair'? How quaint! From now on I shall say 'quair' instead of 'book' because I love it's quirkiness. Excuse the quailing relevance of this post, but it is a quantum leap, is it not? At least it makes sense, and is not a simple quiz on Q words for you to fill in?
I am a quotidian blogger, I could not possibly quit, nor write about queries (which no doubt will be common), nor quote from others, nor could I quaff liquor to qualify for exemption. No way Hose!
Here's for a laugh:
Me, two years old on Dad's shoulders, approaching tree branch.
Mum: Jessica, duck.
Me: Quack! Quack!
My head: BANG!
Now for your information:
quandary = state of difficulty
quiescent = calm
quarters = place
quailing = fading
quantum = large
quotidian = everyday
quaff = gulp in large amounts
So ... did I qualify for the Q award? It only took me three-quarters of an hour ...

Also if you aren't participating in the A to Z April Challenge, pop over to Lee @ Tossing It Out, for his special Q post. This will be interesting ...
This was hilarious, thank you for the laugh! I especially enjoyed the story at the end. :) Did you know quest is one of my favorite words? I don't know why, I just like how it sounds... as well as the imagery of white knights, heroes, and fairytales it brings with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent, I wonder how others will get on with "Q"?
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
LOL - love it. I probably won't know which Q word to post about until I start writing, but at least you've provided me with a few to consider. And quandary is one of my favourite words - don't know why, just like the sound of it :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was quite the quantity of quality Qs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reference to my Q Day Tuesday will will post at 3:30 AM EDT.
Among other things, I will be Quoting from others.

Well done with Q which seems to have quite a few in a quagmire for material!
ReplyDeleteCute 2-year-old you story, too!
Very good and very entertaining. Very original also.
ReplyDeletelol quack quack!! ow I can just see it! :o) brilliant post
ReplyDeleteYou have great Q's... I have a few up my sleeves but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to judge on how well I did!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's funny that quantum means large, because quantum physics deals with very, very tiny particles. lol. Speaking of quantum physics, I loved Quantum Leap. Wish that show would get re-made instead of stupid ones like the Bionic Woman.
ReplyDeleteFun Q post. I too am often tempted to quack when someone says "Duck!" :)
ReplyDeleteOh you definitely qualify for the Q Award! That was most quixotic! (Okay, that may not be 100% accurate, but it was the first "q" word that popped into my head.)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!!!
You are doing so well! I enjoyed your alliteration post with Q! Thanks for adding the definitions to some of those words... ;-D I needed it!
ReplyDeleteI think you hit every q word in the dictionary. Bravo! And I knew I signed up for another blog fest over the weekend; now I remember it was here! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI'll link it on my blog in a day or so.
.........dhole
If I had my say, you would definitely get the Q award. Here I am struggling to find one Q word, and you write an entire blog post with them!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am often tempted to say quack, quack when someone asks me to duck.

ReplyDelete*Shakes fist*
Darn you, blogger. Darn you!
Oh, this was TRULY an admirable feat! Well done!!! I hadn't heard of a goodly portion of these words, but you even used them in context well enough that I caught them all! (though quaff I know... of course...)
ReplyDeleteHA! Oh, man. Thanks for a post that made me laugh :D
