forth from the murky depths:

I was in Harbor Freight today and they were having some sort of huge
sale as it the line was so long I refused to stand in it. But they
had a couple of displays of quick couplers for air tools. I grabbed
a male and female and tried to stick them together. Wouldn't go.
Noticed they had a couple of different sized on the male side, but the
female side of the connection appeared to be the same size.

How does this work? I thought there was only one size for quick
connects. Are their multiple sizes and are some compatible with each
other?

In 1/4", there are two styles: Automotive and Industrial.
I used to use Automotive because I was in that field. Now
I use Industrial because more people use/stock them. I've
had no problem with the HF parts so far. (Light duty)

Automotive has the fat end, Industrial has a narrow flange
up from the end.
