Let me just say, for the record, that I *really* don't like "weird" having been politically co-opted. The weird I love has always been of the Al Yankovic variety. I have a very vivid eighth-grade memory of being told by a girl that I was weird and responding with a very proud "THANK YOU" and taking it as a compliment of the highest order even though that clearly wasn't the intent. By all means, keep using it however you see fit - but using it to cast aspersions doesn't sit well with me. At all.
