... queer

Phrase used to annoy someone. Not meant as a slur on homosexuals, just as a way to irritate your friends. Most effective if 'queer' is said quietly, so only the victim can hear it, and even if (s)he does, (s)he's not entirely sure you did as it is so out of context.

Laura: Are we going to Thorpe Park this weekend?
Daisy: Alright... queer.
Laura: What did you just call me?
Daisy: Nothing, nothing, not a thing... queer.
Laura: You are so annoying sometimes.
Daisy: What have I done??
Laura: Oh I thought you were calling me 'queer' after everything you said, sorry.
Daisy: That's OK, I guess I can forgive you... queer.

queer

Originally meant to describe something as unusual or strange. Became a deroggatory word to describe homosexuals. More recently, it has been reclaimed by non-heterosexuals as a word used to describe themselves. Queer can now be used to describe homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgendered people. In scholarly studies the word queer is also used to describe those who practice unconventional sex (e.g. bondage, etc.), therefore even heterosexuals can sometimes be defined as queer.
