Qua

Ruby

In some of my documentation I have found this wording to be useful: for
“metaclass” it is “class qua class” or “module qua class”. For an
object’s singleton class, “object qua class”.

I like quaclass.

Actually, for us duck typers, a quaclass is anything that behaves like a
class :wink:

Hey, there’s actually some truth to that. The quaclass can be used to
make an object quack like another class. :slight_smile:

Makes a bit of a pun with ‘quack’, as in ‘duck typing’. :slight_smile:

Q. How do you turn a duck into a singer?
A. Put it in the microwave until its bill withers.
