A person who lives in a quarry and wonders why his home looks like every alien planet in the Doctor Who tv series.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Man, I love that quarry.

Ok, a quair is the expression on a cartoon character's face when like he's just standing there in mid-air just before he falls and realizes he's going to fall.  That's a quair.

I think my vote is for that last one. It's the most clever response to either word thus far.

The nagging suspiscion that there are dwarves who sneak into your bedroom at night and steal your socks, underwear and car-keys.  Only to return them several days later.

Quair (n). a book that is read by someone just so he or she can say that he or she read the book to seem intellectual and snobbish.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

The tension has dried, the miracles unceasing, and everything else is ablur as your pants remind you of your off-shore seas adventure on those low tide nights ashore. And let this weeks word, asunder!

Quair: When an inanimate object moves up or down stairs.

"Frank, did that pamphlet just quair?"
"Why Sue, I'm not entirely sure it did. I haven't been playing close attention to it lately."

Points will be distributed at a later time. Everyone did well. Be prepared, for Monday!

So is that the real definition or the definition according to Gemm? I found this word with a boring, unappealing definition on dictionary.com. So I'm just asking.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

That is the definition according to Gemm, which is what counts for this contest.

Well, like me, they are two seperate names. So I am not going to associate them with one another. Unless confronted by them both.
