How to use "Oddball" in context?
Oxford Dictionaries defines an oddball as: "a person who is out of the ordinary in appearance or behavior." Oddballs can be normal, or even quite attractive, in their own way. Not all oddballs are unusual in a bad way, though. Some are simply quirky, or enjoy breaking the rules. Whatever their reasons, they're loved by those who know them and admired by all.
While everyone has their own quirks, there are some peculiarities that make oddballs stand out. Maybe they have a interest in different cultures or unusual hobbies. Or they just dress a little differently, which can set them apart.
