An odd man out should be one who is different from the other because he/she behaves crazily, or in a weird way. Just my opinion! read the "definition" and I don't care of your opinions

Hi.

First, this is a forum which helps people learn English help English, so it's ok to check our understanding of words also in a game section.

Second, I've checked both definition and examples, now. Here are some examples:

Encarta: somebody excluded from group: somebody in a group who differs from the rest of the group or is not treated as part of the group
Wordsmith: any outsider; one who has been excluded
American Heritage: One who, because of strangeness of behavior or belief, stands alone in or out from a group.
Here are many links at  different dictionaries, you can check by yourself.

Third, this is a friendly forum.


Hope we'll be friends.
