"Word of the Day"
|
|
Hello, everybody.
Silke has done me the great compliment of asking me to choose the next "Word of the Day".
I �m a bit of an antidisestablishmentarianism person myself, but this is the first time that I have been honorificabilitudinitatibus, and I find myself unable to speak.
However, I must try to choose an appropriate word.
Tell me, colleagues, who, or what, is:
a quiddler (noun)
Submit your definitions. The dafter, the better. You know the rules. I will choose from among the submissions the wittiest one, and that person gets to choose the subsequent "Word of the Day". But no cheating! No dictionaries or surfing the Internet.
Good Luck!

A quiddler is another name for a fiddler who plays the fiddle on the streets for a quid or two, or maybe three. |

It comes from the latin Quid pro quo which means something like give and take. A quiddler describes most of the people in the reported worksheets section. A quiddler is someone who takes from society and gives back only what is worthless or belonging to another. |

A quiddler is a lazy person who quits any activity after a while / or if he gets bored / tired...
Quiddlers are students - lazybones who do as little as possible, never put much effort into homeworks and studying and so when they grow up they are paid just a few quids...

The crux of the matter = �El quid de la cuesti�n�(Spanish).
A quiddler must be somebody who loves using
Shakespeare�s quote:�To be or not to be..that�s the quid of the
question� .
Have anice day!!!
