   • 1913, Joseph C. Lincoln, chapter 5, in Mr. Pratt's Patients:

     Of all the queer collections of humans outside of a crazy asylum, it seemed to me this sanitarium was the cup winner. […] When you're well enough off so's you don't have to fret about anything but your heft or your diseases you begin to get queer, I suppose.

   • 1994, Juicy‎^[1] (Hip Hop), spoken by The Notorious B.I.G., 0:41 from the start:

     Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
     You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far

     Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
     Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
