Queer street意思

"Queer street" is an English idiom that means to be in a difficult or awkward situation, often financially or in some other way that is hard to escape. The term is thought to have originated in the late 19th or early 20th century, and its origins are somewhat unclear, but it may have something to do with the idea of something being "queer" or strange or odd, and thus not normal or desirable.
