pata nai why but i have always been fascinated with the word bizarre. i mean the word itself means.....strikingly unconventional and far fetched in style which in simple english means ODD.
and anything which is odd is always the one which draws maximum attention....so this is how it got my attention. i mean there is everything with the name bizarre_____bizarre solo rapper,bizarre records,bizarre creations(a clothing line),bizarre tv series and the list is endless.
the word itself sound like its meaning....it is so freakish-flaky-off-the-wall kind of word and the pronunciation is like so wow...everyone speaks it differently and the irony i checked on net they too have different phonetics for it.
so i m still confused whether it is Be-zahr or be-zair but i m sur its not be-zarre but i like be-zarre cause it is so bizarre
now little word about its origin.....it was evident in year 1640 it came from french word 'bizzarro' which means brave,lively or capricious or probably from Basque 'bizar' which is beard.
thats all i got to know about bizarre
lastly, dont know why but....
i m bizarrely in love with bizarre
Nice blog Tanya...great work..keep it up, i'll be here reading regularly. :)

ReplyDeleteVery bizarre eh?
floccinaucinihilipilification is estimation of doing something worthless or the habit of doing so.
