In Old English, the term "queer cuffin" does not have a recognized meaning, as the phrase seems to be a modern colloquialism rather than a historical term. "Cuffin" could refer to "cuff," which means to strike or hit, while "queer" has evolved over time to describe non-normative sexual orientations or identities. Therefore, in contemporary usage, it refers to a playful or affectionate interaction among queer individuals, but it does not have roots in Old English.
In Tolkien's time, "queer" didn't mean homosexual, it was how British people said "weird." Tolkien was saying Bilbo was an old weirdo.

As a common slang word for homosexual, queer dates from the 1920's. Whether it is a slur or not depends entirely on the speaker's intent. The adjective queer normally means different from expected, arousing suspicion, eccentric; as a slang term it means fake, counterfeit, male homosexual. As a verb, queer means to ruin or thwart ( an enterprise), put (someone) in an awkward or bad position. It derives from a Germanic root meaning perverse, cross.
