MORE ABOUT ODD
What is a basic definition of odd?
Odd refers to a number that will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. Odd also describes something that is unusual or weird. Odd has many other senses as an adjective and a few as a noun.
An odd number is any number that has a remainder of 1 when it’s divided by 2. For example, 7 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 1. 7 is an odd number. On the other hand, 8 divided by 2 is 4 with no remainder. A number, such as 8, that has no remainder when divided by 2 is called an even number.
Real-life examples: 5, 11, 37, and 649 are examples of odd numbers.
Used in a sentence: I always like to cut my pizzas into an odd number of slices.
Odd also describes something that is unusual or not what a person would expect.
Real-life examples: People often make odd choices or odd decisions that catch other people by surprise. For example, it might be considered odd to go swimming in regular clothing because people usually wear a bathing suit. A firefighter showing up to a fire in an ice cream truck would be odd because they are expected to drive fire trucks, which have firefighting tools.
Used in a sentence: They were caught off guard by the man’s odd choice of words.
Odd can also refer to something that is very strange, weird, or bizarre.
Real-life examples: Works of fantasy like the Harry Potter series often include very odd creatures, such as plant monsters or giant, flying jellyfish. In everyday life, people may display odd behavior, such as walking on their hands down the street.
Used in a sentence: The circus clown drove an odd car that was shaped like a giant pie.

(the) best of (an odd number)
A victorious outcome determined by the person or team who wins the majority of an odd number of games (three, five, seven, etc.). I love the Stanley Cup Playoffs more than other sports championships because the fact that’s it’s the best of seven means a team can have an off day but still rally to win the whole thing. A: «Fancy playing a round of tennis.» B: «Sure! Best of five?» A: «I know I lost the first game to you, but come on—best of three?» B: «No way, I won fair and square.»
(the) odd man out
1. Someone who is excluded from or left out of a group for some reason. Ever since his injury, John has been odd man out when his friends go to play football together. I never really fit in with others. Even in elementary school I was usually the odd man out. A: «I don’t have enough room in my car to take Sara too, but I don’t want her to be the odd man out.» B: «We can take her with us, that’s not a problem.»
2. Something or someone that is decidedly or markedly different, atypical, or unusual in comparison to others in a group. My clunky old truck is quite the odd man out next to all my coworkers’ new SUVs. You’re going to be odd man out if you go to a dinner party dressed like that! With my bachelor’s degree from community college, I am certainly the odd man out at this Ivy League soiree.

duck
informal
1. An odd, peculiar, or eccentric person. Usually used after modifiers indicating such characteristics. His new girlfriend is nice enough, but she’s a bit of an odd duck, don’t you think? Most of my family thinks I’m something of a strange duck. I just like doing things my own unique way, I guess.
2. A term of endearment, especially for a loved one. Primarily heard in UK. A: «Hello, my little duck. How are you?» B: «Hi, Grandad. I’m fine.»
keep (some kind of) hours
1. To maintain a particular pattern or schedule of being awake and asleep. Because of the huge time difference, Sam has kept really strange hours since coming back from Japan. It’s important that the kids start keeping regular hours when they are young, since having unpredictable bedtimes can cause a lot of problems with sleep.
2. To maintain particular business hours. The local doctor has always kept rather irregular hours. Sometimes it just comes down to luck whether he’ll be there at all on a given day.
make odd bedfellows
Of a pair of people, things, or groups, to be connected in a certain situation or activity but to be extremely different in overall characteristics, opinions, ideologies, lifestyles, behaviors, etc. A notorious playboy musician and a buttoned-up media pundit may make odd bedfellows, but the two are coming together this month to bring a spotlight to suicide awareness. I thought that the two writers would make odd bedfellows for this class, given the drastically different nature of their writing, but their books actually have a lot of parallels in terms of themes and constructs.
odd and curious

odd bedfellows

She’s something of an odd-bod artist, living in total solitude and rarely making public appearances.
odd couple
A particularly unlikely or mismatched pair of people. Though the senator and her running mate are quite the odd couple on paper, the partnership is clearly intended to broaden the scope of her appeal to voters in the upcoming election. We’re a bit of an odd couple, all right, but the differences between my girlfriend and I seem to balance each other out.

odd couple
odd man out
1. A person who is left out of a group for some reason, as in The invitation was for couples only, so Jane was odd man out. [Mid-1800s]
2. Something or someone who differs markedly from the others in a group, as in Among all those ranch-style houses, their Victorian was odd man out. [Late 1800s]
strange bedfellows
A peculiar alliance or combination, as in George and Arthur really are strange bedfellows, sharing the same job but totally different in their views . Although strictly speaking bedfellows are persons who share a bed, like husband and wife, the term has been used figuratively since the late 1400s. This particular idiom may have been invented by Shakespeare in The Tempest (2:2), «Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.» Today a common extension is politics makes strange bedfellows, meaning that politicians form peculiar associations so as to win more votes. A similar term is odd couple, a pair who share either housing or a business but are very different in most ways. This term gained currency with Neil Simon’s Broadway play The Odd Couple and, even more, with the motion picture (1968) and subsequent television series based on it, contrasting housemates Felix and Oscar, one meticulously neat and obsessively punctual, the other extremely messy and casual.

One of a group who is not selected or included, or who differs markedly from the others. At first applied only to persons, the term later was extended also to inanimate objects, as in “This checkered tablecloth is odd man out in a formal dining room.”
strange bedfellows
An odd couple; a peculiar combination. Shakespeare appears to have originated the term, with his “Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows” (The Tempest, 2.2). Several centuries later, Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote (The Caxtons, 1849), “Poverty has strange bedfellows.” Today we often say that politics makes strange bedfellows, meaning that politicians form odd associations in order to win more support or votes.

odd’s bodkins
An archaic interjection meaning “God’s body.” In an era where people respected the Ten Commandments a lot more than we do today, the injuncTion against taking the name of the Lord in vain led to a variety of euphemisms. One involved using the word “bodkins,” the tools that shoemakers and other leatherworkers use to pierce holes, for “body.” The most convincing explanation is that “bodkins” sounds a lot like “body,” but there’s no explanation for the plural. Therefore, when a cobbler hit his thumb while resoling a shoe, he was likely to wince and exclaim, “Odd’s bodkins,” if not something worse. Henry Fielding was the first author to use the phrase in close to its present form in his Don Quixote in England: “Odsbodlikins . . . you have a strange sort of a taste.” Similar oaths that avoided naming the diety used “’s” as an abbreviation of “God’s,” such as “s’wounds,” “s’blood,” and “s’truth.” However, it’s unlikely that Ira Gershwin had that in mind when he wrote the lyrics to “S’Wonderful.”
