weirdies

Peculiar people around

Weirdies is an informal, slightly playful plural for strange or eccentric people: The coffee shop attracts all the neighborhood weirdies.

The diminutive ending softens the judgment—weirdies are odd but usually harmless, even endearing.

Less common than weirdos, it carries a lighter, more affectionate tone.
