A cue bid. If I wanted to offer clubs as a strain I would have bid them on the previous round.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Does anyone notice that the Q pops up in unexpected places, wreaking havoc on you but always with the intention of aspiring bigger and better, and sometimes unimaginable, things?

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Cherdano thinks it is a cue.

Cherdano thinks that it offers COG between diamonds and spades.

Can't be natural to me.

Without discussion I'd take it as a cuebid agreeing spades. I guess that's how I'd play it after discussion too, btw.
Kind regards,
