Are There Any Words In The English Language

[Stargazer]

that seem odd? I always thing "nonplussed" is such a word. Weird! - and I am not sure where to use it.

[SandyRowtwo]

Anywhere where 'discombobulated' might fit the bill.

I saw what you did there, Stargazer. :-)

[Zacs-Master]

I always think 'insidious' is strange. But sometimes apt.

Boris - seems more Russian than English.

[Stargazer]

Douglas, can you tell me what you mean?

[jourdain2]

I don't find any words too odd, just interesting. 'Nonplussed' has to come from the Norman/French, I've not thought about it until now. In French you can say that 'Je suis a point non plus!' which is used when you can't see your way any further,are puzzled etc. 'Nonplussed' must come from that.
I love etymology! :)
