“Weird” is suddenly the “It word,” thanks to Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who used it to describe Donald Trump, J. D. Vance, and members of the MAGA movement. It quickly caught on and became the No. 1 talking point for Democrats. There’s only one problem: “Weird,” for lack of a better description, is a weird word. It means different things to different people, and one man’s weird is another man’s normal. Nonetheless, even in these historically divided times, there are some things we can all agree upon as being simply … weird.
Weird is how it feels the first time you spend Christmas in hot, sunny Florida after a lifetime of living in the Northeast.
