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.

Get the quar quarmug. A formulation of queer theory with attention given to race and class. Most current formulations of queer theory either ignore the categories of race and class altogether or theorize their effects in discursive rather than material terms. To suture that gap, "quare" studies as a vernacular rearticulation and deployment of queer theory accommodates racialized sexual knowledge.
He, a young, African-American, Queer boy from the Harlem ghetto, felt he never was able to relate to the theories and processes discussed in his Queer biographies class, until they discussed Richard Nugent. Studying Richard Nugent --American writer, painter and important figure in the Harlem Renaissance -- offered him more than an exploration of Queer studies, it was a moment of self-realization in his Quare identity; he no longer felt fragmented between his racial, class, and sexuality identities. The class was no longer just about his Queer identity because it had evolved into Quare Studies.

Get the quare hawkmug. Dublin rhyming slang ("Quare" from the originally derogatory "queer" for gay, homosexual) for the reclining statue of Oscar Wilde, carved in County Cork from rocks of various colours.

Get the Quare on the Squaremug. The recent, emerging and growing (mostly virtual) culture enervated out of the safety precautions and societal changes resulting from the SARS-COV2/COvID-19/coronavirus pandemic . Examples of this culture include the exponential increase in Zoom communications, WFH (Work From Home) experiences, quarantining (as recommended by the CDC for 14 consecutive days after possible exposure to a person with COVID-19 or anyone outside of the household you live with who may be an asymptomatic carrier able to infect you. Tik-Tok and virtual/in-person hybrid schooling and masking up, staying 6 feet apart, etc... these are all parts of Quar Culture. It is out of this Quar Culture that our future zeitgeist will emerge, but forever with the foundational influence of this world-changing pandemic.
Eating disorders in adolescents are worsening during the pandemic because of the large role social media plays in Quar Culture.
