You don't have to be so quare about it.
Quare by JasperHeartwood March 15, 2020
A Queer person who is also of an ethnic minority; for example, Black and Queer, Latino/Chicano/Hispanic and Queer, etc. The term is generally used by Queer communities of color to celebrate their ethnicity and sexuality without fragmenting the identities into separate categories.
The Quare community in New York has created a culture unique to Queer communities of Color. It is neither exclusively Ethnic nor exclusively Queer in the traditional sense of the terms because it actively incorporate and includes elements of both. Vogueing, a stylistic, club, and urban dance which includes elements of Hip-Hop, Modern dance and runway walking, is one of the many examples of elements specific to Quare culture.

Meaning weird, different, strange, or odd. It comes from the root "queer" meaning gay or homosexual but instead of saying it as an insult you change it to mean quare. Bostonians often pronounce queer as quare so it fits quite perfectly into the definition.
Oh my God look at what a quare she is!

Nonsense word made up by some Scrabble players in a vain attempt to use the high-scoring letter "Q".
Hey Rose, is there such a word as "quare"? I want to try to make a word from my "AREUQ".
