When people call something weird, the something really isn't weird. It may be unorthodox, unusual, out-of-the-ordinary.

Or it may merely be interesting, which is something Americans avoid like a dog turd dipped in anthrax.

"Weird" is what people with narrow frames of reference and a lack of curiosity and imagination call the aforementioned things.

It's the product of being raised on a diet of pure shit.

Normal is weird

No. Normal is boring.

A little old lady who lives down the road was walking her dog and we exchanged niceties as we passed and I stopped and gave he dog a pat on the head, when suddenly out of the blue she spouts off. 'You're a nice man but you are so weird'
I smiled and said 'Why Thank You' which was clearly not the response she was expecting so I clarified for her 'Have you seen the behavior and manners of most of the people on this island, I would hate to be considered Normal' Since then she just nods or gives me a weak wave when we cross paths.

That's why I try to make my first response "interesting." The unusual interests me. That which is conventionally "beautiful" isn't as interesting as the unusual.

Not what I'm talking about, but thank you for dropping by.

Or the entire concept could be semantical nonsense... Isn't that like someone saying, "You should NEVER say hate; say you strongly dislike"?

No.

I hate it when people do that.
