Asking a question automatically makes it non-stupid :-)

I don't know and would like to hear the answer from one or more of the 
E-Guru's too.

"QRG 3B7C 14.150 QSX 14.155" which technically translates to:

"The exact frequency of 3B7C is 14.150 and he is listening on 14.155"

A great listing of way more Q-signals than you'll ever want to know can 
be found at <www.geocities.com/wa6tbh>  Some are sort of quaint, and 
several are carefully tailored to one group of people:

QRP: "Shall I reduce power?  Aeronautical Note: Refers to 
communications" ... since some fighter pilots might be expected to 
confuse the transmitter power with the throttle? :-)

We hams love to "nounify" Q-signals.  Thus, we'll say, "The QRM is 
terrible tonight," or "3B7C's QRG is 14.150 and last I checked, his QSX 
was 14.155"  We will sometimes "verbify" them as well: "W6XXX, please 
QSY, you're QRM'ing the Digestive Disorders net."
