>qulaities


(Now I have heard several discussions on this particular term. Some sources
say that it was an obscure part of the knight's armor having to do with the
portion of his anatomy that met the horse.  Other sources discount that
theory and say that qulaities were, in fact, a chocolate dainty preferred
by Queen Elizabeth in her later years.  Still others refer to qulaities as
a peculiar kind of rubber shoe worn by the Outer Hebrideans during the
spawning season of a certain low-tide crab.)
