1. bizarre

   Odd is unmated, as an odd shoe, and so uneven, as an odd number. Singular is alone of its kind; as, the singular number. What is singular is odd, but what is odd may not be singular; as, a drawerful of odd gloves. A strange thing is something hitherto unknown in fact or in cause. A singular coincidence is one the happening of which is unusual; a strange coincidence is one the cause of which is hard to explain. That which is peculiar belongs especially to a person as his own; as, Israel was called Jehovah's "peculiar people," i. e., especially chosen and cherished by him; in its ordinary use there is the implication that the thing peculiar to one is not common to the majority nor quite approved by them, though it may be shared by many; as, the Shakers are peculiar. Eccentric is off or aside from the center, and so off or aside from the ordinary and what is considered the normal course; as, genius is commonly eccentric. Eccentric is a higher and more respectful word than odd or queer. Erratic signifies wandering, a stronger and more censorious term than eccentric. Queer is transverse or oblique, aside from the common in a way that is comical or perhaps slightly ridiculous. Quaint denotes that which is pleasingly odd and fanciful, often with something of the antique; as, the quaint architecture of medieval towns. That which is funny is calculated to provoke laughter; that which is droll is more quietly amusing. That which is grotesque in the material sense is irregular or misshapen in form or outline or ill-proportioned so as to be somewhat ridiculous; the French bizarre is practically equivalent to grotesque.

1. Gina Knepp:

   It's bizarre, we don't know if it's religion; we don't know if we have a sick individual in our community that simply likes to cut the heads off animals and dump them where people can see them.

2. American Enterprise Institute.Jason Furman:

   It's bizarre. The tax changes the Democrats are proposing are tax increases so if anything, you'd think that would reduce inflation, in general you think tax cuts are inflationary and tax increases are you know deflationary, so I think it's sort of strange because I think Republicans aren't trying to accuse Democrats of being big tax cutters but if you think taxes are causing inflation it's like you're accusing the Democrats of cutting taxes by too much.

3. Doug Thornell:

   There was very little difference between this speech and what you'd hear at one of his campaign rallies, to many people this speech will be remembered for his continued obsession with the wall, the demonization of immigrants, and his bizarre attack on congressional investigations. Truly stunning.

4. Joe Biden:

   I can’t do anything except plead with the Congress to act reasonably, i have done the full extent of my executive authority – to do on my own, anything about guns … The Congress has to act. The majority of the American people think having assault weapons is bizarre, it’s a crazy idea. They’re against that. And so I think the Congress could be passing an assault weapon ban.

5. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:

   Speaker Pelosi is now sitting on the articles Speaker Pelosi claimed were so very urgent. Speaker Pelosi's delayed this indefinitely so that the architects of the failed House process can look for ways to reach over here into The Senate and dictate our process as well, these bizarre stunts do not serve our Constitution or our national security. They erode both.
