| Text | In this podcast, the word "odd" means unusual and unexpected, often in a negative sense: "Wearing that skirt with those shoes is an odd fashion choice." When talking about mathematics, "odd" describes numbers that cannot evenly be divided by two: "The odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc." The phrase "odd jobs" describes many different, small, and unrelated tasks or jobs: "He has an office job on weekdays, but on the weekends, he works as a handyman, completing odd jobs for neighbors." Finally, the phrase "the odd man out" describes someone who is not included in a group, or who is different in some way: "Always being picked last for sports teams can make children feel like the odd man out." |
