Meaning of "queerish" in English

The word "queerish" is an informal adjective used in English to describe something that has a slightly unusual or odd quality, without being entirely strange or peculiar. The term combines "queer," which historically means odd or strange and, more recently, can refer to non-normative sexualities and gender identities, with the suffix "-ish," indicating a degree or quality of something. Its usage is often context-dependent and might refer to something slightly unconventional or atypical.

Meaning of "queerish" in French

In French, "queerish" retains a similar informal quality, often implying something somewhat odd or unconventional. While there isn't an exact equivalent, it combines "queer," known for its association with LGBTQ+ identities and nontraditional things, with "-ish" to denote a partial or minor degree of that quality. Its use in French contexts might revolve around emphasizing subtle deviations from the norm, though it's also increasingly being used more frequently within discussions around gender and sexuality.
