THE
WORD
There are times that it seems the human race is determined to come up with sneakier, or perhaps less offensive, ways to attack one another. Especially interesting is the way we acquire terms which separate us and allow each individual to feel superior to another without it coming across as bigoted.
This is why I tell you:
The O word that should never be used again is “odd.”
There is no circumstance where the word “odd” is positive.
If we’re attempting to be positive, we use the word “different”—but we all know even the word “different” can be the curse of death. None of us want to be that different. We want to be normal—and have as few people in our club as possible.
- Odd is an insult.
- Odd is selfish.
- Odd is mean.
Odd is purposely setting someone to the side because you have determined that they are just not a good fit. Odd is what civilized people say to avoid the word “queer.” Odd is what bigoted folks proclaim so they don’t have to use racial epithets.
For instance, it’s the assertion that there actually is “a black thing, a white preference, a male predilection or a female intuition.”
Once we can establish that something is odd, we no longer need to deal with it, because ironically the word “odd” rhymes with “God,” and places us in the position to do His work by deciding who are the heads and who are the tails.
Odd has a three-step process:
- You are weird to others.
- You are peculiar to the Earth.
- Therefore, you are unacceptable to me.
Although we may insist that we can point out an oddity without judging its equality, the fact is, any time we assume that the actions of another person are unique, in no time at all we will view them as errant.
