1. To show no mercy.
2. A badass song by Led Zeppelin.
1. "I'll fight you, when I'm ready"
"Fuck that, I shall show No Quarter"
*Punches person in the face*
2. I am listening to No Quarter by Led Zeppelin.

Get the no quarter mug.
In a duel, giving quarter would be to allow an adversary to get back on his feet or recover his weapon. Duels without quarter would not include this often time-consuming practice, allowing a contender to kill an enemy under most condiditons.
Judge: "In this fight, no quarter will be given!"
n00b: "Oh $hit!"

To show no mercy. Refuse to give an opponent the oppurtunity to quit or rest. This use of quarter is probably derived from the meaning of quarter which refers to shelter, as in head quarters. Thus, no quarter means that your opponent is offered no retreat to shelter or protection.
"I shall give no quarter." Said the first dueller.
"None given or asked." Replied his opponent.

One quarter ounce (aprox. 7g) of marijuana; any larger amount could result in trafficing or distribution charges, any less is personal posession.
Shit, dog, we got to smoke some of this bag. If the cops catch me with more than a quarter I'm fucked.

Two or more players take turns setting a quarter into spin on a flat surface (usually a table). An opponent attempts to stop the coin on its edge in an upright position with one finger. Pretty tricky. Success = escape from extreme pain. If you can't prevent the coin from falling flat on the table you have to stand, make a fist, and place your knuckles flat on the table such that they face your opponent. He (or she?) uses a thumb (and probably a terrible amount of force) to slide the quarter at your knuckles, keeping the coin flat on the table surface. A good player will never miss and have you bleeding in the first round.

*this is only a drinking game insofar as no one in his right mind would dream of playing unless grossly intoxicated.

(don't worry, you can tell people you busted your hands kicking someone's ass)
Quarters is the official town sport of Greene, Maine.

1) coins worth 25 cents
2) a place to live or sleep
3) a drinking game in which you bounce quarters into a cup
1) I bought jo mama for a couple of quarters.
2) Jo mama stayed in quarters last night.
3) It would take about 50 games of quarters before I'd even consider bangin' jo mama

A drinking game in which 2 or more players try to bounce a quarter into a shot glass. Whichever player misses first then does a shot of some form of liquor. Can be also changed into a form of Horse in which one player will attempt a difficult shot and the other player(s) must match the feat.
We played quarters until i puked.
