weirdos
Society's eccentric outliers
Weirdos is the plural of weirdo—people considered strange, eccentric, or socially off-putting.
The word ranges from affectionate to dismissive depending on tone: Theater kids? Total weirdos, but I love them versus Some weirdo followed me home from the bus stop.
Self-identifying weirdos often wear the label proudly.
