(I have a funny feeling that you would come here.),
but actually the word means “witty” “humorous” “droll” “absurd” “comical” “farcical” “ludicrous” or “laughable”
Perhaps many of us find something amusing in that which is unusual or hard to understand.
Strangemeans “curious” “extraordinary” and “unsual” “Fran’s loud behavior at the party was strange because she is usually quiet and reserved.”
Approximate synonymsfor strange are bizarre, abnormal, queer, and singular.
Peculiar also means “uncommon” or “eccentric” “Your accent is most peculiar.”
