QLF? Are you sending with your left foot?
I usually respond with
QRF – I am sending with my right foot.
Explaination: I am a right footed sender. I use a single paddle key and 
I find
that the paddle fits perfectly between my big toe and index toe on my 
right foot. See figure below.

I find the ability to sendwith my right footparticularly useful during contests as it leaves my
                   hands free to keep the contest log updated while sending. Also, in long CW contests my keying arm
                   grows tired and switching to foot sending allows me to rest my arm.
          
QBS Bull Sh*t! Often heard after my QRF explaination.
QBS? Did I tell you about the time I worked Western Australia with my Lafayette Model HA-73B
                   100milliwatt Walkie Talkie?

QFH? Is this frequency hogged? Often used with QRL? Eg., QRL? QFH? de N3AZB
QFH This frequency is MINE! - go elsewhere. Sent when my QRL (Frequency 
IS Busy) is repeatedly ignored. May be accompanied with QFO. Eg., QRL 
QFH QFO de N3AZB

QOK? Was my last transmission OK?
QOK Your last transmission was OK.

QRC? Are you a rag chewer?
QRC Warning, rag chewer on frequency.

QZZ Sorry, I fell asleep while you were sending your boring story.
QZZ? Are you still there? Did you fall asleep during my facinating story?            QHI?    Are you leaving after only one transmission?
QHI I am jumping in quick to say hi, then going QRT. QET     Phone home.
QET? Are you calling me from another planet?

QBA     My antenna is BIG!
           QBA?    How big is your antenna?
           QPP     Unfortunately, my antenna is the only big thing I own.
