Quantity Surveyor

An adorable man who thinks only with numbers but when conversing with women talks only with the language of love. If he were an animal he'd be a mule, i.e. he lives in a group but when his time has come he walks alone in the desert and accepts his fate.
'Hey John I saw Rusty the other day, he's a Quantity Surveyor'...gasping, John replies 'wow Pete, I hear they are phallic gods with the brain power of Stephen Hawking'...'too true John, I'd give my left nut-sack and an hour of cunnilingus with Thora Herd's (RIP) rotting corpse to be a Quantity Surveyor'

Quantity Surveyor

The most slimy, greedy, biggest con-merchant wankers in construction industry. Always altering/chopping and changing costs like an evil Sith Lord at the expense of poor white man subcontractor who is feeding his family on 12 pence per day.

Trying to understand a QS who is justifying an horrifically/disgusting high cost to you using a spreadsheet which looks as if it was created by Stephen Hawking is like a Finnish man trying to understand the entire Qur'an off by heart in less than 12 hours.

Most of them have little construction technology knowledge and exist only to tinker around on Microsoft Excel like a child on candycrush.

If you want to work in construction, don't be a wanker Quantity Surveyor. (I recommend being an architect, you get to wear trendy glasses and drive a Saab around like a boss).
'That Quantity Surveyor charged me £20,000 for a toilet seat and he's still holding money we were owed by the contractor 2 years ago - nobhead!'

You need to step out of the shadows and remind people who you are and what you are capable of. Having taken a back seat for so long you may now be a bit of an unknown quantity, which can be made to work in your favor.

quality over quantity 

An implication to that an essay, for example, does not have to be 20 pages long if it's full of bullshit. Rather a short high-quality essay than a useless high-quantity essay.
Remember class, Quality over quantity on this paper. There's no need to write a long paper if it's filled with pointless sentences.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
