Quantity over Quality 

Quantity of a work is more important than the quality of a work.
Student: I wrote an essay 1 sentence long. It has really deep and abstract meaning, and only philosophers can grasp the true meaning.

Teacher: lmao it's quantity over quality. Who taught you to write like that? smh. Jason got 100% on this essay assignment because he wrote 10 page long essay. I didn't bother reading it because it completely meant he spent really much of time on it. You are getting 5% on it.

Quantity Surveyor

An adorable man who thinks only with numbers but when conversing with women talks only with the language of love. If he were an animal he'd be a mule, i.e. he lives in a group but when his time has come he walks alone in the desert and accepts his fate.
'Hey John I saw Rusty the other day, he's a Quantity Surveyor'...gasping, John replies 'wow Pete, I hear they are phallic gods with the brain power of Stephen Hawking'...'too true John, I'd give my left nut-sack and an hour of cunnilingus with Thora Herd's (RIP) rotting corpse to be a Quantity Surveyor'

Quantitative Easing 

A sexual practice whereby many dicks (as big and as many as possible) are inserted into an asshole. The idea is to annihilate the asshole beyond recognition... to the point where nobody could ever figure out exactly WHICH dick caused all the destruction. It destroys the asshole completely, but the destruction is so great that it couldn't possibly be pinned on one particular dick.

Can also be applied to economics, but the term "asshole" is replaced by subject "economy" and "dicks" are replaced by "The Federal Reserve".
Bob: Damn! That bitch's ass is destroyed! They must have performed quantitative easing on her!

Chris: Well, there is certainly some inflation going on there! They could have at least spit on it!

quantitative sleazing 

An unconventional policy using a flawed interpretation of economics, such as Keynesianism, to print huge volumes of paper money which are not supported by anything except public trust. This policy is apparently used to bail to out failed entities friendly to the politicians in charge at tax-payer expense, and to punish successful enterprises which oppose the unconventional policy.
While plunging the federal economy into massive debt by printing paper money which is not supported by anything except public trust, Blurbnanke continued the rodeo of quantitative sleazing, throwing money at Detroit, banks, and other comrades until the US will be the making us the biggest debtor nation on the planet, but the sheeple still have some credit left and stocks are up, so everything is fine.

quality over quantity 

An implication to that an essay, for example, does not have to be 20 pages long if it's full of bullshit. Rather a short high-quality essay than a useless high-quantity essay.
Remember class, Quality over quantity on this paper. There's no need to write a long paper if it's filled with pointless sentences.
