I like the word, and I'm hoping that I'll remember to use it!

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

It means typical, or the perfect example of something...like "he was the quintessential gentleman". If you could use the word typical in a sentence, you can substitute quintessential.

The best example of something. Sort of like 'state of the art'.

Honestly, you don't know how to look up the meanings of words online? {#emotions_dlg.confused1}
