A powerful phrase from then-French President Charles de Gaulle to the people of Quebec, Canada from the balcony of the Montreal Town Hall in 1967.
Translating to "Long Live Free Quebec", it is considered by many to be Charles de Gaulle's semi-formal endorsement of the concept of Quebec sovereignty.
In the aftermath, Charles de Gaulle was forced to cut his visit short partially due to the outrage of the Canadian government at this statement. Since then, it has been a rallying call for supporters of Quebec sovereignty, as well as the Parti Quebecois, a pro-sovereignty political party based in Quebec.
It is widely believed that because of animosity stemming from this incident, then-Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau refused to attend a memorial service to Charles de Gaulle following his death some years later.

Get the Quebec mug.From: Quantitative Easing, the new official government doublespeak for "printing money out of thin air."
Queasing is much easier to pronounce and evokes that slightly nauseous feeling you get when you realise just how fucked the entire world economy really is.

Get the quebypod mug.An age old tradition in the Canadian province of Quebec. This means of competition involves two combatants, the first competitor to shove his thumb up the other's anus is the defined victor. The provincial champion also gains the honor of being the leader of Quebec's Bloc Québécois Party.
