I use “Huzzah” on the regs. It starts ironically, and then before you know it, it’s in your lexicon.

I wandered in here from all, so I’m afraid I don’t know anything about baseball.

But I’m pretty sure QT is for QuikTrip, a convenience store found in some regions of the US (mostly Midwest and South I think).

Yes, and well before that too. It meant an unmarried adult woman over the age of _____. (Here is where the discrepancy lies.) It was always true for an elderly woman. But could sometimes be applied all the way down to age 30, especially if you go far enough back that you were expected to be married in your 20s. (And if you weren’t, there must be something wrong with you.)

I’m about to read book 21 of the Inspector Alleyn series by Ngaio Marsh, False Scent.

If you end up liking the first Jack Reacher book, then I would recommend the first season of Reacher (I think on Prime). It takes some liberties, but follows the story reasonably well. And has an actual large guy playing Reacher, not Tom Cruise.

Keep in mind there were a few years between me reading the first book and watching season 1, so I might’ve spotted more differences had I experienced them back to back.

They just couldn’t write it on a to-do list, because they were illiterate.

I just finished No Plan B by Lee Child. Number 20-something in the Jack Reacher series.

Fighting injustice (and kicking ass) throughout the country, one small corrupt town at a time.
