AussieInBgApril 2021 Both ”odd” and ”weird” mean ”strange” and are synonymous. However, ”weird” tends to show more surprise about something/someone being ”strange” and in general is a stronger indication of strangeness than ”odd”. ”odd” gets more used in British English while ”weird” seems to be an American favourite. |
vincentApril 2021 Thanks Aussie
exRangerApril 2021 In the American variant, ”odd” and ”weird” are about a 50-50 proposition and, depending on the particular speaker/writer, one or the other might be used more often. For example, I rarely use the term ”weird” in conversation and almost never in (written) compositions. |
