QED - The universally recognised way to end any argument. This stems primarily from the fact that scarcely anyone actually knows what it really means. This makes people nervous. And nervous people are far less likely to argue back. In fact, so advanced is the spread of ignorance about the actual meaning of this phrase that it has been suggested that its real meaning has been lost. The true meaning probably lies behind the eternal sofa of the universe, or twisted inside one of these extra dimensions that scientists are continually telling us about.

[edit] Origins
Some scholars believe that the phrase was originally coined accidentally in Act IV Scene XIV of Antony and Cleopatra. When Mark Antony said "Quarter'd the world, and o'er green Neptune's back...". However, Shakespeare's spell check didn't recognise the word "Quarter'd" and suggested QED instead. No-one quite knows why. But it featured in the original play to stunning reviews as none of the critics wanted to appear ignorant. and on a later note shane is a gay homo!!!!!!!!!! Later, it was cut from the play and replaced with "Quarter'd" once more by poncy arts editors. The Bastards.
It is also theorised by others that it originated in ancient Greece, where it was used by Gr33k-13375p33k3rz as a primitive form of 'PWND N00B' when arguing. It is believed they intentionally did not give it a true meaning so that others would be confused and probably run away in fear from the pure awesomness of it. In fact, some people argue that the use of 'QED' was the true reason for the battle of Troy, where some Greek dude had a fight with a Trojan over which gaming console was the best, which ended with the Greek dude screaming 'QED N00b Fac3!'. The trojan, while not fully understanding the meaning of this, got really angry, and proceeded to start a war with Greece. However, most scholars agree that these people are really stupid, and have been involved in far too much kitten huffing.
[edit] Possible Meanings
- Quod erat dama - Because it was venison
- Qui eum dissaviebatur - Who was kissing him passionately?
- Qui est Deus - Who is this God person anyway? (which just so happens to be the last book in Oolan Connuphid's blockbuster trilogy)
The use of the word 'QED' in the ancient times was like that of words in our modern language like 'OMG' and 'ROFLMAO': even though they were originally used as abbreviations, they have become new words with an abbreviated pronunciation instead of the full words group for which the abbreviation stands. In the later periods in ancient Greece (and also Athens) people didn't know the original meaning anymore and the word got the meaning that we are now accustomed to.
The use of the word ‘QED’ (or written as it is pronounced: ‘qed’) is very clear: whenever someone wants to prove something that has been assumed previously in his deduction, he indicates ‘QED’ to let the reader/listener check for himself in what has been said, whether or not the deduction is round. When the argument is rounded up, and circular the reader/listener indicates that he understands by saying ‘why?’. This use of the word is only still being used in Europe, and other parts of Greece.
In American regions the word has been abbreviated once more to ‘QDE’ which was to mean that the interpreter should in his mind replace it by the argument as it goes from the first premises to the last, including ‘QDE’. This is only scarcely used when an argument needs a regressus (recitation) in order to be true.
[edit] Example of Discussion involving QED
Dave - But that's madness!! Of course Spain exists!
Ben - But did you see yourself from space when you were in Spain? No! Of course you didn't! That would be mental. So you must therefore concede that you weren't necessarily where you thought you were when you thought you were in Spain. Therefore it doesn't necessarily exist. QED.
Dave - Shut up.
[edit] QED The Book
QED is also a book by Professor Richard Feynmann. It is a companion guide to Harry Potter. It explains all of the magic using the power of Quantum Electro-Dynamics. This can reveal how things can be in two places at once, how nothing is absolutely certain, where dragons come from, and why the plot makes no sense.
Beneath the lack of engrossing storyline and bestiality of a bestseller, Feynmann was the first and last person to have ever stated QED is not the most efficient way of wining an argument. As a reaction the very book he published consumed him and reduced to him to an insignificant mass of matter.
Nowadays, he enjoys trips to the Moon as well as the Moon.
