weird = minority?

a friend commented today that weird means minority... like when you are the only one in the family with differing length of ear lobes, that makes you weird!!? but i suppose if 4 out of 5 family members have that very same profile, that makes the one with level ear lobes weird!!?

dictionary.com says weird = supernatural, unearthly, uncanny... looking it up further, i think i'll conclude that weird = super abnormal... it can't be just abnormal, it has to be very abnormal. so weird is minority. but minority does not necessarily mean weird.

It is not politically polite to say 'weird' anymore..

The correct word is 'special'..:)

Now, isn't everyone of us special??..:)

Cheers,
