Quarter

The French Quarter or Vieux Carré, a neighborhood in New Orleans.

I really liked my apartment in the Quarter, but I had to move to the Marigny when some yuppie consortium bought the building to make condos.

quarter life crisis

When you realize suddenly that you've finished school, and it's time to Choose Your Career, and Support Yourself, and enter the Real World -- NOW -- and you have no eartly idea what to do. It doesn't help that you probably have absolutely no job experience whereas the jobs you see advertised everywhere want at least 3-5 years.

You can buy yourself some time to regroup by getting a McJob.

Oh god what do i do where do i go from here my resume sucks i suck and i don't have any money and if i go to my parents i'm a failure and i need to get out there and find a job but i don't see any that i want or that i think i'll know how to do very well or they won't hire me anyway 'cause i can't prove i'm any good so i think i'll just sit here in my room in the dark and curl up and go to sleep for awhile.......

Quarter-Cocked

(kwar-ter koked) Adj. An extension of Half-Cocked, which is acting on assumptions or partial information. A person who is Quarter-Cocked, is so idiotic that they act on STUPID assumptions based on information that doesn't even exist. Kind of like that friend that everyone knows that spouts off stupid remarks about people they don't even know.

Guy one: Dude, you hear that Paris Hilton got locked up?

Guy two: Hell Yeah! Doesn't she have a new sex tape out, "A Night In The Warden's Office"!

Idiot: What are you talking about?!? Paris Hilton is a nice, good-natured woman who is a perfect role model for preteen girls and women everywhere!

Guy one: Kick his quarter-cocked ass.

Guy two: Ok.

no quarter

Judge: "In this fight, no quarter will be given!"
n00b: "Oh $hit!"
