Q-Tip
Q is for Q-Tip
When you think of Q-Tips you may envision cotton swabs, but some people - especially younger ones, I guess - think Q-Tips could also be older persons with white or grey hair.
License plate
Although some people may take offence at being called a Q-Tip, others find it funny enough to buy a vanity plate with the word printed on it (although spelled differently on this plate).
Tip of the Month being presented by Q-Tip of the month?
Auger attached to hand drill
For those of you who are curious, the tip of the month was to plant bulbs by first digging a hole with an auger attached to an electric drill. QUICK (another Q-word) and easy.

Now i have never heard of grey hair being called that but all your shots are very creative for the challenge.
Judging by your first photo I qualify to be called a Q-Tip.
PS: I'm proud of it.
I learned something new today about Q-tips..I like the license tag. Have a happy day!
Lots of useful 'tips'!

I am proud to be a Q-tip!!
I've never heard that before! I wonder if its a Canadian expression?
i have heard the slang Q tip for old people, but can't remember where.. what has the world come to using expensive drills to plant bulbs.. you did a great job on Q
I've never heard that expression to describe oldies. My family always calls seniors BBBs.... it means Born Before Beethoven.
I've never heard older folks referred to as "Q-tips" but the name does make me chuckle.
I haven't heard that term used in that context before either.
I guess I'm really behind the times. I didn't know people like me were referred to as Q-Tips!
I hadn't heard that term before either, but I'm definitely a Q-Tip!! Fun ones for the day!! Hope your week is going well!
I have never heard that term used before, but it works. LOL

I never heard the Q tip expression before but guess that makes me one!
I haven't heard that expression before either, EG!
Oh my, this is my happy, good laugh for the day! Great post. it's been too long since I've posted for Miss Jenny and I should get a post together too soon!

Well, I've learned something new about the term "Q-Tip" today. LOL I guess I'm one of them for sure.
Very good, EG. You have a "Q"uick mind. MB
I didn't know about this meaning of q-tips, thanks for this funny post!
I never heard this expression of a Q Tip meaning an older person with grey or white hair! That is a really good tip, it would make planting so much faster!
Funny post !
A funny post !
Neat, Ms. TG, calling the white topped people Q-Tips. Guess I might be one also. Your lady friend has thicker hair but mine is whiter (see my FB picture, Jim's Facebook picture, https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=558169180903274&set=a.115369585183238.27367.100001305913762&type=1&theater

What a great and creative post for Q!
I've never heard of that but it's kind of cute! I'd be a q-tip if I didn't die my hair...
That's so funny. I've never heard of an older person being called a Q-tip.
I had never heard of older people with gray/white hair being called q-tips...
Q-tip as in Cutie-tip, I betcha. I'm a Q-tip and proud to be one. :-)
