Weird vs Unique

Hmmm....

The way the Belgians are running the club is certainly unique but at the same time very weird.

Maybe Katrien/Roland/Mandy or Tonguey - whoever wrote that statement is correct.

Does weird also mean unique?

    No. But the thing is, even if she SAID unique, it would still not make that statement much better.

    Okay so

    Weird: A negative version of something thats suprisingly original.

    Unique: A positive version of original.

    Unique does not mean weird. She used the word "unique" later in that car crash of a Q&A (to describe "the unique fan experience" on offer or something) so she knows the difference.

    Agreed, whether she said 'weird' and meant unique (unlikely), she is still belittling a fan for feeling a sense of ownership in a football club. Watch the whole interview, the context is there, the comment about the ticketing system being ONLY one third of revenues and the 'shareholders' owning the club. She can come back to this and bastardise her own quote as many times as she likes but it'll never look good and she'd be best off leaving it alone.

    was about to say the same, during that interview she uses the word unique elsewhere, she knew the difference.

    Weird is wanting to shag your sister, unique is having done so.

    No

    Unique means the only one

    Weird means strange

    No similarity

    As said above she used the word unique a few seconds later in the correct context and correct meaning.

    She said weird and she meant weird in a negative and dismissive way as confirmed by her body language in the film.

    It's a rather feeble attempt to change what was said by pretending the word used was wrong. Not sure why they didn't also claim that she meant "much loved family members" when she said "customers" but guess it's hard to think straight when dictating a statement while clearly rat-arsed.

    Unique adjective Being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. Distinctive, individual, special, idiosyncratic, quirky, eccentric, isolated.

    Weird adjective Katrien Meire.

    Colin is certainly weird, but in his support for the regime sadly he isn't unique.....a couple more sad cases on here & elsewhere spring to mind!

    The tone and way she said it on the video I saw, makes it hard to believe she meant unique.
