I am weird. I love that word. It`s not as bad of a insult as you might think. Weird too me justs means quirky, or silly. So If someone called me that I would say",I know you are, but what am I"? It`s an old Pee Wee Herman saying. You might not know him. Now to be called , ":STUPID" that would be an insult.
