Quality

Worthless, at least in Newton (and in particular, West Newton). "My friends and parents still use it today,'' says Lucia Kegan. "If you had some piece-of-shit bike some mean kid might say 'quality bike' or if some guy got all loaded on malt liquor and threw up you would call him a 'quality kid.' ''

In college I had a friend from NY who said this all the time.

re: Quality

This is an example of "opposite meaning" which seems to be a New England peculiarity. e.g.: The old timers used to say "quite a little". When I moved to California, I found out that not everybody gets this sort of thing...

I still do this opposite

I still do this opposite meaning thing even though I live in the Midwest now. People here don't get it either.
