quarters

The section of small Southern towns which are mostly tar paper shacks with polythene windows. Out back is the outhouse and in front is a Benz, a Lincoln, and a pickup truck on blocks. In other words -- a rural ghetto. The word is derived from slave quarters, and appears frequently in Harry Crews' novels.

The Riverdale neighborhood of Detroit reminds me of the quarters in Florence South Carolina.

military "verbal shorthand" for "Confinement to Quarters," most often for medical reasons such as acute viral respiratory infections that are disabling and highly contagious but NOT so severe as to require any hospital stay.

'quarters

short for hindquarters. say it to other people in the know to draw their attention to a particularly fine, quality ass in the vicinity. one benefit is that you can discuss fine, quality ass even directly behind said posessor of fine, quality ass without her ever being the wiser.
