Quid

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Wiktionarypar Quid has several meanings:

• Means "What" in Latin; in a deeper sense it refers to the core meaning of that something.
• British slang for one pound sterling (£), originally referring to the pound note (plural is quid, not quids, despite the expression "quids in", referring to a financially positive end to a transaction or venture). The Irish pound and the Australian pound were also referred to by this name. Can also refer to Euro currency in Ireland, although the term yo-yo has also been coined for the euro.
• A French thematic encyclopedia, published annually by Robert Laffont.
• An abbreviation of the Latin tertium quid, meaning "third party" and used to denote an anti-Madison part of the Democratic-Republican Party of the United States between 1805 and 1811.
