I �m sure that it �s a compound noun.
It �s a person, who wants to have a special hair made called "rasta" , but the hairdresser has a lot of work and this person has to queue, so he/she is a queuer. (I don �t mind there is a misspelling in the word.)

Rastaquouere from French Rastaquou�re 1social intruder, upstart � especially from a Mediterranean or Latin America country; a smooth untrustworthy foreigner. Perhaps it can help you. |

ju10, we weren �t looking for the meaning of the word.
This is a game we play almost every day.
One person picks a rare word, preferably one that sounds a bit crazy, and all the others INVENT a meaning to it, going by its sound, components or just by letting their imagination run wild.
The person with the craziest, most interesting "definition" is the winner and may choose the word for the next day.

 Thank you ju10.... I guess you haven �t joined this game before, and I invite you to do so, it �s FUN!!!
OK, I guess I have to pick the winner, since the definition was already told, so I choose.....

Jussara �s inadvertent genuine gloss prompted me to check the dictionary and it just goes to show that the original definition is often a damn sight more intriguing and interesting than our �zany � efforts. I love the bit, �especially from a Mediterranean or Latin America country �. Where would Hollywood Latino stereotypes be without the likes of Cesar Romero and company? |
