    You could try calling yourself “off-the-wall” instead. That was how the skaters used to get away with their weirdness.

    Note: I prefer the word “bizarro”.

      Bizarro is reserved for your alternate dimension counterpart, that speaks in opposites and looks weird.

        Native English speaker here. It can have a sexual meaning, depending on context. It’s not always like that though.

        You might check out the Radiohead song “Creep” to hear it in this context:

        When you were here before / Couldn’t look you in the eye / You’re just like an angel / Your skin makes me cry / You float like a feather / In a beautiful world / I wish I was special / You’re so fuckin’ special /

        But I’m a creep / I’m a weirdo / What the hell am I doin’ here? / I don’t belong here / I don’t care if it hurts / I wanna have control / I want a perfect body / I want a perfect soul / I want you to notice / When I’m not around… /

        As a primary English speaker, weirdo doesn’t have any sexual meaning. Native speakers won’t see that.

        Pervert fills that definition you’re looking for.
