Just to point out something quickly, to me, the use of "queer" like that is perfect dictionary usage. However, "queer" can also mean "homosexual." There are odd cultural undertones to the use of that word (gays use the word in very specific manner in the US, but it can also be used derogatorily by homophobes).
Wow, thank you for your pointing out. I first tend to use "strange" instead of "queer". but something hit me with the phrase "queer fish" and I used it after checking with dictionary.

I will seal it up until I come across suitable situation (when?).
