小知识
A quid is a hunk or wad of something you chew. I don't recommend shoving a quid of gum in your mouth right before you give your speech.
Quid, defined in the 1720s as “a portion suitable to be chewed or held in the mouth,” shares a source with cud, as in what a cow chews. The Old English root of both is cudu, “gum or resin.” Quid is also British slang for one pound sterling, which may derive from the Latin word meaning “that which is.” Order fish and chips in a London pub and you may hear, “That'll be six quid, mate.”
