The term has been created after a certain suspicious behavior had been observed in Trader Support, where members of this department would divide the day into 4 shifts and "work" up to 4 hours a day, lunch inclusive.

Quarter-Day Quinten is an extension of the Half-Day Harry. Its uses are for when people are not turning up to work/school/anything for any reason, including sickness, laziness, etc.
When calling someone a Harry, they can be anywhere from 5 mins to half a day late.
Quinten on the other hand is significantly less, i.e. only turning up for a couple of hours.
It can also be modified to Quarter-Week Quinten for someone who is only turning up for part of the week.
