in Chinese and has the same meanings as in Japanese, but most commonly I hear
it used to mean a horizontal line component of a Chinese character.
The right side of the character is "huang" which gives the sound (~ heng)
and the left side is a tree which alludes to some meaning of a straight object
like a log.

<pre wrap="">In trying to come up with a witty response to Wayne's clever gibe (= quib), I found the following (and it was interesting enough that I abandoned the attempt):
• Yoko (横) in Japanese is a fairly generic term meaning "side"; it also has some less common, negative meanings = "wrong", "invalid", "illogical", and "disorder".
~ which means that the Greek for the Japanese "yoko (横)" would be αἵρεσις (= "choice" or "thing chosen") from which we get the English 'heresy,' which means a choice of one side, with overtones of "wrong", "invalid", "illogical", and "disorder."
Heresy Ono?

<pre wrap="">There's more. I find from the indispensable urbandictionary.com that "Quib is a 70's LA term for coughing while trying to hold in a pot hit either from a joint, pipe, or bong. Of course, it is a negative thing and the goal is not to quit." Thus "quib ono" is an asseveration, undoubtedly often pronounced only with difficulty, of one's unwillingness to exhale...

<pre wrap="">"qui bono" is obviously a slight mispunctuation of "quib ono."
Given quib = quip (as it does), a proper translation would be, "It's not a joke!" - while of course the lead singer of U2 is a joke...

Incidentally, it's "cui bono." "qui bono" would translate as: "who is the lead singer of U2?"
