21. Synonyms For Weird

I so agree about weird. It's better than dangerous, evil, treacherous, traitor and all the other descriptions that magas either dismiss or love. These accurate words do have their place, but keep up the Weirdo label!

The only thing I'll add is that Weird will, based on my take on human nature, begin to fade in it's punch after enough repetition.

Here are some synonyms (or near somewhat related words) for weird that I've been thinking of using that might have a similar impact...

Strange
Odd
Oddball
Weirdo
Bizarre
Creepy (not my favorite, but...)
Eerie (not my favorite, but...)
Awful
Peculiar
Flaky
Mental
Psycho
Kookoo (or Cuckoo)
Screwy (thanks Bugs Bunny!)
Daft
Daffy
Batty
Foolish
Loco
Absurd
Nutty
Brainless
Dolt(ish)
Jerky
Loony
Half-baked
Inane
Vacuous
Childish
Inept
Awkward
Bungling
