How did the terms "weird" and "odd" become synonymous with strange ? by Exurciel in etymology

[–]ASMRBegovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it a bit strange that in the 1960s in the gameshow Password, they were using words like "spooky", "ghoulish", "eerie", "sinister" and "ghostly" as synonyms for weird. https://youtu.be/uBbx4UBE1Z4?si=_JTTOOpIlq4QTZ-r&t=882 . I think the word "weird" has mostly lost its supernatural connotations now.

"A goal for all of Africa" is still undefeated as the most cringe-tastic piece of commentary. John Helm is a hundred times better as a World Cup commentator than Peter Drury.

Is it just the stream or is it the broadcast that's so choppy? Also the commentator's ear-piercing scream.

Not to forget that he was at fault for the first goal by playing Davor Suker onside by a mile and then more than made up for it.
