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?

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...
