weirdo

Eccentric, often unkindly

A weirdo is a strange or eccentric person.

The word carries mild contempt—it's what you call someone whose behavior or interests strike you as off-putting or inexplicable: That weirdo keeps staring at us.

It can also be playfully affectionate among friends: You're such a weirdo.

Less commonly, weirdo works as an adjective: weirdo art films.
