Squid (Gathering of SF fans in a pub)
[edit]Squid is a gathering of SF (Science Fiction or Speculative Fiction) in a pub. It is not a convention, as it is a smaller, less formal format.
When one is telling friends what one is doing in the future, one says "I am going to squid" or "I will be squidding". However, the next day, when recounting what you have done in the past, the term is squud "I was out late last night: I squud". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raistllynn (talk • contribs) 21:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- If there is already a Wikipedia article written about that meaning with verifiable and reliable sources, it could be added to this page. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for the specifics about this type of page. —EncMstr (talk) 23:09, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Sailor nickname
[edit]IDK how it is in other countries, but in the U. S., Squid is also a term used to refer to Sailors in the U. S. Navy, often times meant as a derogatory term, although some of us Squids wear that title with pride. 32.212.102.239 (talk) 05:57, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
