Deviating from what is normal; untrue to type.<BR/><BR/>So 'not what you'd expect to find' is as valid a meaning as 'deviant'!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646936995485109020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020257.post-1112986619347121002005-04-08T19:56:00.000+01:002005-04-08T19:56:00.000+01:00Oh for goodness sake, I thought aberrant meant per...Oh for goodness sake, I thought aberrant meant perverse and twisted and evil or something like that. I wonder how many times I've misused it over the years? I've pretty much been using it interchangably with abhorrent.<BR/><BR/>(I've probably been mispronouncing it, too.
