Quiet Car

A term coined to describe a long car ride in which teenagers or grown adults sit in silence. Often times, the music is turned up. Usually due to stress and irritation or simply not wanting to talk. Seldom times, it can be called when one is driving a "shitbox" and needs to figure out if "that sound" is coming from their car. Also similar to when parents call an "all quiet" car ride after their children bug them. Only driver and shotgun seats may call a "quiet car."

Emily and Kristy became bored with their friends conversations going on in the back seats. Therefore, Emily called a "quiet car time" as a polite excuse to turn the music up.

the world is quiet here

the awesome slogan for VFD:

When we grab you by the ankles,
Where our mark is to be made,
You'll soon be doing noble work,
Although you won't be paid.

When we drive away in secret,
You'll be a volunteer,
So don't scream when we tell you:
The world is quiet here."

Read the sign...the world is quiet here.

Covid-Quiet

When places that should be packed with people are seemly peaceful but very uncomfortably quiet.

The covid-quiet, peaceful streets here in the heart of New York city are a bit upsetting, and depressing. This is Columbus Circle - we need our tourists, shoppers, locals, businesses, gawkers, buskers, artists, and everyone making noise and a big, fun mess!

a fart that does not make a sound but achieves its purpose, that of leaving its mark on its surroundings in more ways than one

douglas hondo: can you smell that?

heath streak: ahh what do you mean? (looking away gingerly)

douglas hondo: it smells like a gas leak

heath streak: sorry, had chilli con carne for dinner

douglas hondo: they call you the typical relentless quiet achiever

quiet you

A term popularized in a cartoon from the 60's that starred a genius dog named Mr. Peabody. It was his trademeark phrase, often said to the child (whose name was Sherman) whom he would always be explaining history or science to (with his own unusual twist of course). Sherman would retort with a smart remark, to which Mr. Peabody would reply "Quiet, you!".

Sherman: "So you might say, it was a real Pow-wow."
Mr. Peabody: "Quiet, you!"
