QWERTY (/ˈkwɜ rti/) is a keyboard layout for Latin-script alphabets. The name comes from the order of the first six keys on the top left letter row of the keyboard (Q W E R T Y). The QWERTY design is based on a layout created for the Sholes and Glidden typewriter and sold to E. Remington and Sons in 1873. It became popular with the success of the Remington No. 2 of 1878, and remains in ubiquitous use.

Get the qwerty mug.A Touch typing keyboard layout (for Operating Systems) that quickly became the de-facto standard, as it was inherited from the Typewriter. The layout is the three-fold sequence of characters: '"QWERTYUIOP" (top row), "ASDFGHJKL;" (home row), "ZXCVBNM" (bottom-row)'.
1. "Contrary to preventing typewriter jams, QWERTY boasts its ability to typewrite "Typewriter" using only the sequence of its top row keys."
2. "If QWERTY were an alphabet, then the Caesar cipher would conspire that, for key=1 (n-th succeeding alphanumerical digit to said digit), "GIRLS" will decode into one adjective and one emoticon."

Get the QWERTY mug.A word to use when you can't remember all of the interminably long, ever-changing series of letters, numbers and symbols used by modern gays.
When the name of your club is an interminably long, ever-changing series of letters, numbers and symbols that takes up half the keyboard, just use the first six letters and call it good. QWERTY is catchy, easy to remember, and if you forget, just look at your keyboard. Best yet, it's just the name of the keyboard. No one can get offended by you using it. Win/win all the way around!
