Let me add some confusion to the conversation: ) From the thesaurus searching for 'odd'
atypical, avant-garde, bizarre, character, crazy, curious, deviant, different, eccentric, erratic, exceptional, extraordinary, fantastic, flaky*, freak*, freakish, freaky, funny, idiosyncratic, irregular, kinky*, kooky, off-the-wall, offbeat, out of the ordinary, outlandish, peculiar, quaint, queer, rare, remarkable, singular, spacey, strange, uncanny, uncommon, unconventional, unique, way out, weird, weirdo*, whimsical
I ain't skeert of nuttin eh?
