status quo

Short for "status quo ante bellum" meaning "the state before the war." Used to reinstate property boundaries, ownership, etc after a nation is defeated. Kinda opposite its contemporary meaning, "the way things are now."

In spite of the principle of status quo, West Virginia was not restored as part of Virginia after the (US) Civil War.

Epidemiological Quotient [Epi Quo]

I have coined this term and it can be measured "to assess the knowledge of the doctors about the medicine and health in the social context".

Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo can be explained like If a doctor has good knowledge about the treatment of a illness but if he/she doesnt know that what is the problem statement of that disease in the society it can be said that He/She has low Epidemiological Quotient Epi Quo. A good doctor knows the treatment and social pathology of that disease also(In other words, good in Epidemiology). eg. If doctor knows the treatment of diabetes but he doesnt know what all factors like Genetics, age, sex, socio economic status affect the chances of one getting Diabetes or what is the prevalence of it in his society then that doctor can be called that he has low epi quo. Knowing all this means Higher Epidemiological Quotient.

Status quo

The status quo, or any other quo, is a person's business if they want to go with it. Some people want to change everything, and others were already happy without anything having to change for them to be happy.

You don't tell people they can't stick with the status quo, even if you don't agree with the way they do something. You disagree with them, they disagree with you, a d that's it. Not everybody has to agree that wearing a stupid fucking mask everywhere or getting a vaccine is a good idea, since a country where everyone has to agree on everything is not really a free country.

That's the last time I let Henry drive my car! He's too short and keeps messing with the seatus quo. I hate having to re-adjust everything!

Stat Quo

Stat Quo is the illest Rapper from The South along with Bobby Creekwater. He has hits like Get Low and Like Dat. He was signed by Eminem to Shady Records but left Shady Records in 2008. His biggest influence was Scarface from the Geto Boys. Yet he isnt the most famous rapper because the public buys albums from illiterate faggots like Lil Wayne who cant even spell "little" right. But he is still pretty rich.

Get Low by Stat Quo was a good rap song.
