Re: Q.E.D Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

Re: Q.E.D It's not really an everyday utterance. It is used either formally at the end of some sort of mathematical or logical proof to declare that you have proven what you intended to prove.
Or it is used as a bit of rhetorical flourish at the end of any argument when you feel you have made the definitive statement on the issue being argued.
