OP First, wwh, I do want to give you credit for being the only poster on AWAD who's ever used qui vive, at least as far as the search took me.
Qui vive is the word of the day on one of mailings I receive. The definition is "lookout; alert" and the example sentence (very roughly paraphrased) is "Marcy was always on the qui vive for shopping bargains."
I love the sound of this phrase. Is it pronounced "key VEEVE"? If not, how should it be pronounced?
Thanks,
WW
