weirds out

Makes uncomfortable, informally

To weird out is to make someone feel uncomfortable or unsettled, usually through strange or off-putting behavior: That guy at the party weirded me out.

In passive form, to be weirded out is to experience that discomfort: I was totally weirded out by the whole situation.

The construction treats weird as a verb, a relatively recent development.
