I see this phrase used a lot on blahaj lemmy. I’m actually bi but I don’t really like using the word ‘folk’ over ‘people’… it just kinda sounds pretentious, I don’t want to be described like a mythical creature
There is actually a mostly unrelated phrase from the north of England; “Nowt queer as folk.” Meaning ‘People can be strange in their behaviour’.
This may or may not have fed into ‘Queer Folk’. But it certainly was the source of a UK TV drama series called ‘Queer as Folk’ in the 90s.
“Nowt queer as folk.” Meaning ‘People can be strange in their behaviour’.
Would that be literally “there’s nothing quite as mysterious as human behaviour”
Yes, that’s another transliteration.
I dont know, but did anyone else giggle like an idiot because they always liked to say to myself, Queer ass Folk instead of Queer as Folk.
And im like mostly sure thats what the show runners wanted, but im okay pretending they didnt and im just amusing myself
And for the record i just like the wordplay in spite of it not being particularly clever and very obvious.
Yes i do like terrible puns as well. Not sorry
I used to not use “folk” but have switched cause it’s easier to type 😅
