I know gay and fag mean happy and cigarette, but didn't know that queer was used to mean unusual (like I know it can be defined as that, but didn't think anyone used it like that.)

The song "Star of the County Down", as sung by The High Kings, uses "queer" to mean "unusual". Incidently, I find that to be the best arrange of this classic Irish tune - very melodious.
