Q is For Quagmire (No, Not That Quagmire)

Today's A To Z Challenge letter is one of the feared ones... Q.

Although given my theme I should do ok with this one. The Q section in my dictionary is only 5 and a bit pages long.

So today's previously unknown word beginning with Q is:

quagmire (kwog-mire) n a soft wet area of land that gives way under the feet; bog [from quag bog + mire]

Now I had heard of quagmire but not as another word for a bog. I had heard of Quagmire - the name of a peculiar and vaguely disturbing character from Family Guy.

See you tomorrow.

Don't know family guy, do know the swampy connection of the word.
