Thanks for the information about rarito, Iris.
Regarding the words weird (I spelt it right this time) and queer: There may
be a difference in the way these two words work depending on what side
of the Atlantic you're on. Lately queer in the US is almost exclusively synonomous with gay. Weird is not. Queer may be use disparagingly(I dont have spell check)in the following manner: He's a queer., and less disparagingly if this manner, He's queer. Do you find this so in British English?
