Quayuh
Dorky, stupid, loserish, etc., NOT a synonym for "gay," although that usage is known in the Boston area. For example: "The New Kids on the Block ah wicked quayuh." Carrie-Anne Dedeo reports that when she was in middle school, the long-A sound was so pronounced that "I saw most people spelling it (in notes and graffiti on desks) as 'quare' instead of 'queer'.

re: Quayuh
"Quare" was one of my favorite words in elementry school. I read a lot of Lucy Maude Montgomery then, who used the term "queer" in it's oldfashioned sense, to mean "strange."
re: Quayuh
Yeah, we definitely differentiated between the two words. Hahahaha, I forgot about that entirely!
NKOTB
