quagmire

Hang on! Before I sat down to dinner the Total Word Count stood at 400,008, hence my conclusion about 'quagmire'. Now I've commented, the Total Word Count is 399,988! Now I'm in a quagmire. Have 20 Wordies deleted 20 words from lists more than they've added in 2 hours? At this rate we'll be extinct in 20,001 hours. Dumb. Lost for words. Gagged. Not a good word to be said. And here we are on the edge of extinction and all you can think about is sex! Speechless. Can't find the words to express ......

By my calculations the 400,000th listing of a word not already listed by the same Wordie. (When you list a word it only counts toward this total the first time you post it). Some will find an interest in the 'qua' coincidence. And the fact that 'quack' is currently topical. And nuttylichee, who didn't duck the opportunity.

Quagmire: "Does this look like a Q to you?"
Woman: "Aaaah!"
Quagmire: "How about now?"

Beautiful word! It can be translated as acquitrino in Italian, with the same effect on people (weird face).

Who else but Quagmire?

Qua what?
