Personally, I've never heard queer as a verb outside this phrase, which makes it idiomatic as far as my experience goes. Equinox◑15:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
That's why we need to rely on corpora. Following are objects of the verb (deprecated template usage)queer found in COCA: friendship, things (3), deal, offer, paradigm, that (what I had to do), project, status, runs (football plays), collar (arrest), him ("queered him good by living"), re-election, assignment. This sense of queer#Verb seems more common outside academic (cultural studies, gay studies, social sciences) and gay activist writing, AFAICT. DCDuringTALK15:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Not normal, but possible. I'm sure a salesperson who "couldn't get out of his own way" could "queer his own pitch". I prefer "someone" as a default placeholder to "one" or "somebody". "One" is best reserved for the always reflexive. DCDuringTALK18:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
