I see this phrase used a lot on blahaj lemmy. I’m actually bi but I don’t really like using the word ‘folk’ over ‘people’… it just kinda sounds pretentious, I don’t want to be described like a mythical creature

    “Nowt queer as folk.” Meaning ‘People can be strange in their behaviour’.

    Would that be literally “there’s nothing quite as mysterious as human behaviour”
