outré - ooh-TRAY - unusual, startling, far out, bizarre
Example: "As all the critics agree, 'Avatar' has a hackneyed plot, but the special effects are, to put it mildly, outré to the extreme!"
As a starter: and as a former teacher in English, I hope to add to reader's vocabulary by presenting a word a day in simple terms that anyone can understand - from current use in publications, radio,TV, etc. Remember: use a new word three times in a day and it's yours forever!
