Google search for quellazaire dictionary -"Urban Dictionary" -Wikipedia has yielded only nine hits, none of them relevant. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:37, 25 October 2010 (UTC) I agree - lacking a citation, the term should definitely be removed. � Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.210.67.137 (talk) 06:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Quellazaire - a Cigarette holder scribbler101 #208745 01/06/13 12:37 AM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Looks like it might be a trade name, in which case etymology might be hard to squeeze out. Also, it has a whiff of French to it which may or may not be helpful in rousting out that etymology. I could see it as a name cobbled together for the sort of person who would use a cigarette holder, a name based largely on the cachet afforded it by its looking French.
