A term in which you say when an individual says when another says something stupid. (You would proceed to knock on their forehead twice)
Dumbass: “curry a basketball player?”
You: Quarter hard ball!
In the 1980’s in Essex county, Nj, I worked in a restaurant where the wait staff was predominantly white and the dish room was predominantly black. (I maintain I was the last white American man to work as a dishwasher!) whenever any of my coworkers wanted a quarter for change they would always ask for a “case quarter.” No explanation was asked for, none given. But it was fairly widespread urban slang at least in the mid eighties in northern nj.
Just now, I’m watching an old film on tcm, “flying down to Rio”, and one of the principle characters asked another for a “case quarter” again looking for a 25 cent piece for smaller change. No further context given.
Brings back wonderful memories, as well as a few questions!

An idiot. In reference to children that would walk up to an arcade cabinet and instead of asking their parents for a quarter to play, would just grab the joystick and mash the buttons and would think they are playing. This is because they are dumb and don’t know how anything works. Similar to anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers.
“The government is putting micro chips in the vaccine!”
“Oh, you were a No-Quarter kid weren’t you bud?”
when a brass player in a marching band drops their mouth piece and another marcher that witnesses this says "quarter turn"
*Marches set*

*mouthpiece falls off*
"Fuck"
*Woodwind marcher*
"quarter turn hehe"
*me mumbling*
"u fuking kike"
When you emulate a shitty arcade game
Me: This game sucks ass. I'd rather save a fake quarter.
One-fourth of a mile.
My friend ran a quarter mile in 3 minutes!
