Lingo
there is nowt so queer as folk
used to suggest that people can be unpredictable and diverse in their behavior, emphasizing the importance of being accepting and respectful of individual differences
The origin of the proverb "there is nowt so queer as folk" is from Scottish and Northern English dialects, with "nowt" meaning "nothing" and "queer" meaning strange or unusual. It serves as a reminder that everyone is unique, and this unpredictability should be embraced rather than judged. The proverb emphasizes the importance of accepting and respecting individual differences, as what seems strange or unusual to one person may be entirely normal for another.
