Fantastic, Bizarre, Grotesque, Fanciful, Exotic;
"These adjectives apply to what is very strange or strikingly unusual."

i just learned something new today.
[mind you its only 11:17am PST]

we always use the word 'fantastic' as an exclamation or a synonym for 'great' or 'awesome', when in reality, it is defined as 'strange'  'bizarre' and 'unusual'.
it would be used in a sentence such as:
fantastic imaginary beasts, such as the unicorn...

instead of :
"this soup is fantastic!"

is your soup an imaginary beast?

GET IT?
