Freak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article describes the modern definition of "freak". For the older meaning, see freak show. Freak can also mean someone who is utterly obsessed with something. For other uses, see Freak (disambiguation)
In current usage, the word freak is used to refer a person with an unusual personality. The older usage, referring to the physically deformed, such as would be seen in a sideshow, is nowadays generally considered offensive and inappropriate.

In many urban areas being called a "freak" is to be called sexually indiscriminate.

The word is still used when referring to mutations in plants and animals, but less often for humans. However, many people enjoy referring to themselves as freaks. It is from this kind of embracing of the term that the so-called freak scene developed in the 1960s and 1970s.

May 25th is the International Freak Pride's Day which is also, coincidentally, Towel Day, a tribute by fans of the late Douglas Adams, creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

General
A freak is often considered an insulting term for an organism with an abnormality of some kind. Some opinions would classify so-called freaks into two groups, these being natural freaks and made freaks. A natural freak would, supposedly, be a mutant and a made freak would be one who, though not born abnormally, experienced or caused a deliberate change sometime during their life (such as having surgical implants inserted).

The word freak when used in a slang context also has positive connotations. It can be used to describe one who is unusually skilled or talented in a particular area, e.g.: "She's such a freak at gymnastics" or "You're a singing freak". For example, a commonly known Freak amongst football fans is Peter Crouch, due to his fantastic height and ability.


It is thought that a human freak is someone who does not fall into two standard deviations. For example with people’s heights, a small person would not be a freak unless they are in the third standard deviation for the general population, and the same applies for really tall people.


[edit] History
In early science, before the birth of various theories were created to explain the existence of natural abnormalities. Many of the theories led to pseudo-sciences that are believed by some to this day. One superstition current before the 19th century was that, if a pregnant woman was scared by an object or organism, the child would be born with the quality of the source. The currently accepted theory is that of mutation.

In some religions, from ancient times up to the present day, the birth of children with abnormalities has been associated with astrological events. Rues cited the recent solar eclipses as reason for the increased number of mutated infants born at that time. Karma is also believed in some religions to be a cause of abnormalities. In others, the cause is direct intervention by the will of God.
