Do you try to subtly detect possible Brokies?
Kelda:
I do add things into converation sometimes yeah... but thats mostly with peeps who know my obsession!!
also.. does anyone else know what "on the QT" actually means!?
Front-Ranger:
It means on the Quiet Time or Tip, there's some confusion about the second word. I have so much fun in business meetings because there's one other guy, a friend of mine, who's seen BBM, and we are constantly throwing out lines while the others are totally oblivious. They don't ever suspect, because it's Colorado and everyone talks like that anyway. A couple of people have remarked on how I've started cussing lately, but I tell them it's a midlife thing, which it is. I think BBM's launched me in a full-blown midlife crisis. Bring it on!
Kd5000:
Just letting ppl know you saw the film twice ( I saw it five times, don't want to push it) let's ppl know you really liked a movie. If they nod in agreement, I throw out few more feeders besides the basic what do you think happened to Jack, i.e. it should have won best picture at the A.A, or I WANT TO GO TO ALBERTA and WY and not just to see Yellowstone this summer...

Here's an update: my friend emailed back and said "Yep." But I don't think that's significant, because my question to her hadn't been, "I'm starving. Wanna get something to eat?" Now, if she'd emailed back, "You bet," I would have been excited!
Oh well. I'm waiting for the day when I drop one of those terms into conversation with a stranger, and then the stranger comes back with the appropriate response, and our eyes meet and we smile at each other and we both know.

on the QT
QT Adj. 1. on the quiet
on the quiet - conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods; "clandestine intelligence operations"; "cloak-and-dagger activities behind enemy lines"; "hole-and-corner intrigue"; "secret missions"; "a secret agent"; "secret sales of arms"; "surreptitious mobilization of troops"; "an undercover investigation"; "underground resistance"
I like "secret missions" as a definition.
Jack and Ennis met on the qt.
