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.

ReplyDeleteJudging by your first photo I qualify to be called a Q-Tip.
ReplyDeletePS: I'm proud of it.

ReplyDeletei 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
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that expression to describe oldies. My family always calls seniors BBBs.... it means Born Before Beethoven.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard older folks referred to as "Q-tips" but the name does make me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard that term used in that context before either.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm really behind the times. I didn't know people like me were referred to as Q-Tips!
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteFunny post !
ReplyDeleteA funny post !
ReplyDeleteNeat, 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
