Four Solid Quarter Store

Four Solid Quarter Store = A Dollar Store. Surprising that the term Solid Quarter isn't in English dictionaries and considered AA slang. The word Quarter is tied to a single definition. There is time and measuring, you can even live in a quarter where you smoke your quarter of weed. Most of us are aware that when someone asks for a quarter in the context of money they mean the coin... BUT, 25 pennies is still a quarter of a dollar and would be correct. Putting Solid in the front removes all doubt, plus it teaches kids how many coins are in a Solid Quarter.

Four Solid Quarter Store is a very specific definition of a dollar store and the kids start learning that there are four quarters to a dollar. And yes, most of us are aware that all things aren't a dollar in there, the awesome power of 'Solid Quarter' can easily be changed and adapts without losing any meaning...

Dude 1...'You need anything from the Four Solid Quarter Store?
Dude 2 "The one with 'Tree' in the name raised their prices, start calling it the Five Solid Quarter Store.
Dude 3 "i wonder how many got fired cause they could only do math in dollar increments.'
