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.

How did the word queer became a slur word?

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.
