One of the six different flavors of quark, an elementary particle of interest to physicists.
Also, a unique insult for one who is obsessed with physics.

"Laboratory physicists discovered the existance of the strange quark."
"Can you believe that strange quark? She spent the entire weekend in the lab crashing electrons into one another. She needs to get a life!"

The smallest known building blocks of matter. Protons and neutrons are each made of 3 quarks. Quarks are never found alone, only in groups of two or more. An attempt to separate two quarks generates enough energy to create two more.

A word coined in the Polly Platt book "French or Foe" to describe the attitude towards being on time that is prevelant in Mediterranean cultures and countries as opposed to northern European countries and cultures. In north European countries it is generally felt that being 15 minutes late for a meeting is somewhat rude, and half-an hour is late enough for the people to become quite annoyed. In France the criterea for being late is much more relaxed. Meetings NEVER start less than 15 minutes after the scheduled time, and showing up on the scheduled time for a social gathering at someone's house is just rude.
Pierre: I have arrived!
Herman: Late as usually. But he is French and therefore quarkochronic, so he can't help it.
