Jaime's Second "Word of the Day" Since the Inception of this Blog Over a Year Ago

Outlandish.


out⋅land⋅ish  [out-lan-dish]
–adjective
1. freakishly or grotesquely strange or odd, as appearance, dress, objects, ideas, or practices; bizarre: outlandish clothes; outlandish questions.
2. having a foreign appearance.
3. remote from civilized areas; out-of the-way: an outlandish settlement.
4. Archaic. foreign; alien.


Basically it means peculiar, or out there (well, at least that's what I use it for). I don't know why, but I love love love it. It's my favorite word for this general meaning. I think it's partially because there's a facebook group category entitled 'Just for Fun - Outlandish Statements'. I often make outlandish statements. I love outlandish things. This blog is outlandish at times.
