queer

I was a lot more apt to queer it than help it.

"But lor-a-mussy, Jacob, how could a woman get away from here with all her boxes in the middle of the night?"

"That's what queered me," and Spink slowly shook his head, "and queered a good many; for of course it got newsed about […] "

"Food is what queered the party. We ordered a big supper to be sent up to the room about two o'clock. Alec didn't give the waiter a tip, so I guess the little bastard snitched."

If I go, for instance, to the history of the church in Latin America, and decide to queer the history of the Jesuitic Missions, I may find that, in many ways, the missions were more sexual than Christian.
