Not the full quid

Pro Tip 1/3

Cultural Sensitivity

Be aware that the phrase can be offensive as it mocks mental acuity.

Be careful not to say someone's not the full quid in a professional setting.

Pro Tip 2/3

Colloquial Use

Best used in informal contexts among friends who understand the phrase.

Around Australian mates, you might hear 'he's not the full quid' in a jesting tone.

Pro Tip 3/3

Avoid In Insult

Don't use it to directly insult someone; it's rude and can hurt feelings.

Instead of 'He's not the full quid,' use 'He sometimes misses the point.'
