quiet kid

The kid in the back of the classroom who is rarely ever spoken too. This kid could be the smartest kid in the class, but every time he says anything, he isn't listened to, and others around him steal his answers and yell them out. This is the kid who is not well known by most of the class. When students pass out papers, they say "who is (insert name of the quiet kid here)?" The only time people ever talk to the quiet kid are when they need something. It's never to talk about TV or video games or the internet, it's always "what did you get for number 3?" or "what was the homework for English class?" The quiet kid will go home every day, with a huge backpack, on the bus, and one day he'll stop showing up at school, and no one will notice or care. People will assume he switched classes and went somewhere else. It would be as if he never even existed...

I am the quiet kid.

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.

querencia

The place where one’s strength is drawn from; where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self. The verb, “queer” means to desire. Querencia is a favorite spot, fondness.

Being home on vacation time is the ultimate recreation and spiritual housekeeping; it is my oasis, my querencia.

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!
