Quouble

A Quouble describes a bed that is bigger than a double, but smaller than a queen.

We recently built a quouble bed for my caravan, because we need a bed bigger than a double, however a queen size was too large for the space.

quile

Quile is the abbreviation of "quite a while". To "be a quile" is to be gone for a long period of time, although the actual period of time does not have to be pre-determined.

For instance, your Manager is stepping out for a long, liquid lunch, and on their way out the door he/she says "Hold my calls Janet, I'll probably be a quile".
