What is the meaning and usage of the phrase "some odd" or perhaps "someodd"?
Q. This is a relatively popular phrase, which I can't find any information about at the moment. I'm pretty sure it means something like "roughly" or "around", but I'm wondering if it is an actual formal phrase or idiom and whether people out there have heard it used often. common examples: "He only has 200 some odd dollars left in his bank account." "I have already been waiting 15 some odd minutes here." (I'm unsure of the syntax of using it either; for instance, should there be a comma preceeding the phrase in these examples?)

A. In your two examples I wouldn't use the word "some", yes odd is used to mean roughly It costs 200 odd pounds There are 30 odd people waiting

is it just me or does it seem a liitle "odd" that jeff gorden is always the pizza hut fan favorite?
Q. I'm an edwards fan, and i really don't care who is voted the pizza hut fan favorite, i just think its a little odd that ol' number 24 always is.

A. Hey man, I was thinking the exact same thing. Gordon is always the "Pizza Hut Fan Favorite." Did Pizza Hut subliminally sponsor the 24? Do Gordon's fans get high on breadsticks and pepperoni? Whatever it is, you're right on the money. I'd have figured Junior would win it weekly, or maybe JJ, Carl, Kyle, and Tony.

Can I translate the word "special" as "odd", "curious", "a bit strange", ''not normal"?
Q. I am reading Mary Poppins and there is such a phrase "Mr.Wigg, I know you are a little special. But to have tea in the air ! For a gentleman of your age!"
Asked by - Fri Jun 25 06:21:02 2010 - Words & Wordplay - 4 Answers - Comments

A. I think that, in this case, it would be translated as "different". But, different could be spoken of as any of your words, except perhaps "not normal". Actually, "special" is used here, I think, as a polite way of saying any of the other words, which might be ever so slightly insulting.

Anyone experienced protection by an odd "blindness" touching someone else, allowing you to escape harm?
Q. I have had this happen. It was as though I did not exist to the other person, was able to just walk freely by them. I am counting on this odd thing, to keep others from killing me during what may be border line anarchy The predator issue of the tribulation is one of the biggest problems I am trying to deal with. The bible does relate that this happened again and again. But is it possible today? ISSUE: Have you experience a protection, when the threat seemed unable to see that you were there?

Even gone through an "odd" phase in your life and have any advice?
Q. Have you ever gone through a down time in your life where you just didn't feel fully happy or just sort of out of sorts? I'm 22 and there are lots of changes with friends, long relationships ending, people getting busy, and graduation. The last year or 2 just have been odd for me. Has anyone gone through/understand this and have any words of advice?
Asked by Ariana12 - Thu Jun 3 09:09:27 2010 - Singles & Dating - 8 Answers - Comments

A. Yes, I was about 27 when I went thru my change. This is the point in your life when you have to decide what you are going to do with the rest of your life. Start a journal, write down everything that makes you happy, everything that makes you sad, angry and do not forget to include people that make you happy and angry. Once you done that you have to remove the bad, all of it and you can never bring the bad back. I tried and realized that I just wasn't strong enough to balance all the negativity so I had to start over again. Feeling alot better now. Good Luck & really try it.

If an "odd" oriented person marries an "even" oriented person, then they both end up "even" right?
Q. An even number and an odd number always make an even product. On the other hand, if an "odd" person marries and "odd" person, then they're still an "odd" couple. An odd number and and an odd number always make an odd product. Math makes sense and it works too.

A. Yes, but if you add an odd and an even number, you get an odd number. It seems to me a couple would be a sum, not a product.

Odd "nightmare". Help? Meaning?
Q. I had the oddest dream last night and I oddly remembered most of it. The dream was in three parts or scenes as I saw it like POV(point of view shot). The first part was that I was in Science class (I'm in the 10th grade btw) and there was this creepy teacher assistant type of guy. He looked like one of the wood shop teachers, just really old and creepy. I was leaving class when he looked me up and down (exaggeratedly obvious) and he put his hand on my shoulder and I ran out of class. I was looking for my friends because it was lunch, I couldn't find them, the halls were like a ghost town. I went to the office to get help because the man showed up on every corner I turned. I was trying to get one of the guidance teachers to help, she… [cont.]
