Literally "grotesque." The word originally meant foreign or alien, not from this land thus "outlandish."

1. looking or sounding bizarre or unfamiliar (e.g., All ideas, no matter how outlandish, will be considered.) 2. [archaic] foreign; alien (e.g., three wise, outlandish kings)

According to the dictionary it means freakishly odd.
In laymans terms outrageous would suffice. Even eccentric.
