DO YOU KNOW OTHER USES OF: ODD?


Hi my friends 😊 Loads of students have asked me what the following mean:
❗When I'm out clubbing, I do ask the odd girl for her phone number!
❗Yeah, I like to go to the odd pub! 

We know ODD can mean: weird/strange or numbers like: 1,3,5,7 etc, or you can wear odd socks (not the same ones), a person can seem odd (out of character). What are the odds of people understanding this post? (the chances) but... 

...THE ODD...(happening or occurring infrequently and irregularly; occasionally)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» She does the odd bit of cleaning around the house but nothing major (Not often therefore does little)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» You get the odd person who's rude to you but they're generally quite helpful (It happens sometimes but not often)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» I go swimming on the odd weekend if I feel like it. (On some weekends but not many of them)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» I like to have the odd beer when I'm out with friends. (So i don't drink much because I rarely drink)
