        I don't have the exact wording in front of me and the quotes of this on the web apparently are all done from memory, but Douglas Adams used "out-weird" as a verb in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" (1980):  "Listen, three-eyes, don't try to out-weird me.  I get stranger things than you free in my breakfast cereal."
