Yeah, but the people doing the partying aren't Quebecois. Also, ask a bartender on Florida's Treasure Coast about the Quebecois, they toss around quarters like they're manhole covers.

Oh my god. What a coincidence this is. I just went to the bathroom and thought the same thing and came into my room and went on Basketballboards.net and see this thread.

yeah it does have to do with the phrase "drop a dime" which origianally meant to snitch on someone to the cops. you would call the cops... payphones used to cost a dime... so it would be an "assist" to the cops. tadaaa.

"Dime" is actually derived from the Babylonian phrase Di-me (two syllables). Di-me means, "Pass me the rock so I can take it to the hole and dunk on these playahs."

In 99 my highschool beat Caron Butler's team in the regional tournament. We went on to win the state tournament after that.
