Stardate: Thursday, January 24, 2002
What does the word "freak" really mean and why do people apply it so incredibly often? In the months that I have been in this office, I have heard everyone call other people "freaks," from someone they like to someone they don't like. I mean does being eccentric, unusual, different, funny, serious, or personable make you a freak?
I don't really take offense to it (I've been called a freak by these people more than once,) but I just want to know what it means. Is it one of those words that people use when they don't have anything else to say? Is it a way of ensuring that you are in the majority at all times? SHOULD someone be offended? I don't get it. Luckily, I'm too self-absorbed to ask. I really don't want them to feel put off or self-conscious because I ask. It's too inocuous to make a big deal out of.
