Get the Q.E.D. mug.A word used by intellectuals that, apparently, they are quite sensitive about if you translate incorrectly. Causes redness and itching on mathemeticians when misused.
Bert- "Q.E.D. means "quit earning dough." It's what you do when you decide to become a professor, right?

Get the Q.E.D. mug.Fictional wacky and zany composer made up by wacky and zany real composer genius Peter Schickele. He has made many albums that are funny parodies of classical music and music in general and has won many awards. P.D.Q. stands for pretty damn quick but only Schickele knows the truth. Peter can be found at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople.

Get the P.D.Q. Bach mug.abbreviation for Latin- "Quam Effusio Deleo," or 'How one annhialates enthusiasm, excitement, interest.' when someone uses this term in any form, understand they are trying to put you to sleep and violate you while you drowse, and probably take your wallet, regardless of how smart they sound, that drone you're hearing is only a substitute for the hypnotist's watch.
Professor Blumpkin finished his thesis with "and so you can clearly understand what I have demonstrated. It is simple, Q.E.D. The next thing I knew someone from the back row of the lecture hall was yelling, "Yo, Jimmy, look out" I roused myself to see Blumpkin removing his hand from my crotchal area. "What?" He protested, "I had just dropped my laser pointer, is all."
