Yeh thats fair enough, but im 28 years old and ive never seen a rain cloud that covered only a few meters in length but was very long in width, length and width being from my perspective i mean, the rain when it passed over us only lasted for a few seconds but i looked to either side and it seem to be quite far out, as i said like a wall of rain. And for me to have never seen anything remotely like it, ive felt rain suddenly but never heard it progress towards me then moments later see a wall of it going right past me.
Quote:was not "following" anything, it was a result of natural conditions.
Again dont take this word too literally either, i say follow to give a description of what the rain was doing, it reminded me of the cartoons when you see a depressed person and the rain follows them, but it didnt even exactly follow us because it went right past us then came back towards us again then just wasnt there anymore.
Quote:But the more I think about it, I just found another word I hate "Weird". It merely is a stupid way of saying "it caused me awkward pause".
Basically it is feeling sudden unsureness or uneasiness. Part of our evolutionary fight or flight mechanism.
All of your definitions assume some emotional relationship with what was seen.
None of these things are a definition of what "wierd" means, all your definitions are definitions of how it is to feel weird, emotional responses, and even these definitions are vague.
Weird is just something, somone out of the ordinary nothing to do with a flight or fight mechanism and you can feel unease or unsureness about things that arent weird and you can pause awkwardly at things that arent weird. Obviously somone can feel weird aswell, it can be an emotional response but that wouldnt be an overall better way of putting things than saying weird.
If i would have called this thread "have you ever seen something that you couldnt explain that caused you to pause awkwardly" why would i make the assumption that seeing something weird would cause them to pause awkwardly?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
