: What is the derviation of the phrase "On the QT"? I've searched
online for a while, but no search engines have come up with a resource
that lists it. If anyone knows, please Email me. Thanks!
Although "Q.T." certainly looks as though it may be the initial
letters of two words, every slang authority seems to agree that
its origin is simply the first and last letters of the word "quiet."
