i doubt i will find an etymology for "queef" even in the oed, but my guess is it arose as a sort-of-onomatopoeic word for the sound/event it refers to (when a penis forces air out of a vagina). i know of no other meaning for the word, nor of any more 'proper' term for the same thing (unless you wanna try "vaginal flatulence" haha. i don't), nor have i seen the word habitually used in some way that would give it some secondary color or connotation that would justify a guilt-by-association prejudice against it (i myself hate the word "cunt" for just this reason, because i have most often heard it used to call a woman a 'cunt', and almost invariably by the sort of guys who hate women and probably hit their wives. e.g. "i can't believe that CUNT called the cops on me. i should've blacked BOTH her eyes!").
is this like my prejudice against 'cunt'? or am i missing something? :p
