What does OUTRE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Strikingly out of the ordinary, unconventional or bizarre, often to the point of seeming excessive.

It describes clothing, behaviour or ideas that go well beyond normal taste into something showy or eccentric, usually with a hint that the speaker finds it a little too much. The word is stronger than merely unusual, carrying a sense of deliberate excess or flamboyance.
