Followers of this English Lesson series will know that I have sourced these from the compilation by Super-Fan Kevin Hales of the Uxbridge English Dictionary definitions which were a feature of the long running BBC radio show "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue".
I am up to the letter Q which by definition is a bit limited in its versatility. You just have to look at the Scrabble tile value for the letter Q which is only matched by the equally uninspiring letter Z at 10 points.
Here goes. I have supplemented the actual broadcast definitions with a few tenuous ones of my own.
Quango- a gay tango
Quizzical- being interrogated about a dietary regime
Quince- not quite a coincidence
Quaker- a posh duck
Quadrant- four people arguing
Quadrangle- the argument above becomes a bit violent
Quash- cordial made from quince
Quince- vegetarian substitute in a burger
Quisling- an underdeveloped Q & A session
Quarantine- a malty bedtime drink for lockdown
Queue- the line of those auditioning for the role of 007's gadget master
Quantity- Page 3 compilation
Quest- one of the heraldic symbols on the family coat of arms of Jonathan Ross
Quasimodo- a sort of transport
Quid pro quo- immoral earnings
Queer- an odd twelve months
Qatar- a middle eastern road surfacing material
Quest- the best type of vest
Quartermaster- someone else looks after the other three bits
Quit- computer support for the LGBT community
Quill- a superior type of sickness
Quantitative- lots of spuds
Quantas- a large bottom
Quality- a posh brew
Quell- shouting by posh people
Quietude- good table manners when eating
Quartz- where Judgez give their rulingz
