It's amazing how the "noncentral fallacy" is rooted deeply into human psychology.
Using "weird" to escape the gravitational pull of a word it's interesting, and suggests a general strategy: Martin Luther King was an heroic criminal, abortion is an ethic murder, etc.
Mmh, better but not the best.
'Weird' seems to work well only for self-identification, though.
I like those other examples for labeling others, though - might be a nice general strategy to employ.
