Jon, would you define "um-weird" for me? I assume, since it is
repeated thrice, you did not mean "un-weird" or "ur-weird".
Urban dictionary doesn't define it yet, but tells me that this is close:
Lyv 5 up, 13 down
A really weird person
Lyv is um weird
get this def on a mug Mug

Unfortunately, Lyv doesn't tell us what she means by "um weird".
