What does beautiful Q mean?

"Q" is the homonym of the English word "cute". The pronunciation of the word "cute" is [kju:t], which is interpreted as: adjective, cute, smart, clever and beautiful according to Modern English-Chinese Comprehensive Dictionary; Pretend to be elegant.

The traditional understanding may be closer to "cute". In some animation works, "Q" is often used to express a more playful style.

Therefore, on many occasions, when describing a thing or a person's cuteness, "Q" is often used to describe it.

Pretty q should mean very cute.

But I think what you want to ask is "Tart Q", a Cantonese proverb, which means to fail to do something at a critical time. It can also be simply understood as "failure", "failure" and "failure to meet expectations". In Cantonese, "talking about waves" (football commentary) means "kicking the ball sideways".

The origin of words

The word "Ta Q" was originally a table tennis term. In the snooker match, the player missed the ball because the cue was not accurate, which made Bai Bo far away from the target. It is called "Ta Q" in cantonese. "Ta" is a loan word for "sword", which means falling and falling. Cue is cue, and q is the homonym of cue. Later, it gradually extended to football. In Cantonese football commentary, it is pointed out that the foot didn't hit the correct part of the ball, and it is described that the football player failed to move forward in the original direction due to insufficient force during the kick. For example, "Q" means that the player shoots the ball away at the door. Now the meaning extends to other fields. At present, the word "Ta Q" is widely used in spoken Cantonese, and other things that failed at the last minute are also widely used, such as "solo Ta Q" and "wedding Ta Q".
