How it's used
Describes behavior or ideas that deviate significantly from social norms, often implying a sense of moral corruption or eccentricity. It carries a formal or literary weight, making it sound quite serious when used in casual conversation. People typically use it to criticize someone who is intentionally difficult or holds extreme, unconventional views.
Examples
He is very perverse and always thinks of weird things.
You really shouldn't learn this kind of heretical thinking.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe simple personality quirks or minor hobbies, as the term carries a strong negative connotation of being morally wrong or dangerously deviant. It is not a casual way to call someone weird.
