Queer has traditionally meant odd or unusual, though modern use often
pertains to LGBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and
non-normative heterosexual) people. The word geek is a slang term,
noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially
one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things
including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc."[1] Formerly, the
term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose
act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or
bugs. The 1976 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary included
only the definition regarding geek shows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirque_nouveau |
