QQ
 

The other day this Chinese lady came in and she wanted to scan and e-mail some documents to someone in China. Only thing was that they didn't really have an e-mail so they I guess created one...

The following conversation took place.

Me: Okay, so I'm going to need an e-mail address to send these scans to.
Lady: Then don't have e-mail.
Me: ... Okay then how are you going to send these documents?
Lady: Wait, I call them.
(She's talking on the phone and trying to get them to figure out an e-mail address. Then she turns to me.)
Lady: Do you know QQ?
Me: Sorry, what?
Lady: QQ. Do you know QQ?
Me: ... No...
Lady: They have e-mail, it's *random numbers*@QQ.com
Me: Okay...

And on my way to work there's a place called QQ SuShi... and at the usual place I get my BBT there's another store called QQ*Chinese characters that probably mean cafe*. QQ is everywhere.

Do you know QQ? QQ?

there's an android app called QQplayer for playing videos that the phone doesn't already support like mkv.

QQ is like.. their version of FB/MSN kinda thing.. I think..


Actually I just googled QQ, and it looks more like a yahoo... so they have mail and news and entertainment and everything..

Yeah, but being the gamer that I am... my first thought wasn't the yahoo clone. So I was taken aback by her... literally scooted away.

QQ is Ragequit/cry
In I think it was Warcraft 3, The hotkey for quitting a game was Q and then Q again so it was adopted by the community as a thing to say to sore losers/ragequitters.

Where do you work? Seroiusly? :/

QQ is super popular in China.
Everybody in China has a QQ

QQ is a popular (primarily) messaging client in China.

More people use QQ than Facebook. Something like 600M to 500M.

Yeah, I heard of that when I was playing some pserver in china.
