Wikipedia
wacky
Eccentricity (also called quirkiness) is an unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as unusual or unnecessary, without being demonstrably maladaptive. Eccentricity is contrasted with normal behavior, the nearly universal means by which individuals in society solve given problems and pursue certain priorities in everyday life. People who consistently display benignly eccentric behavior are labeled as "eccentrics".
Webster Dictionary
Wackynoun
a soft, earthy, dark-colored rock or clay derived from the alteration of basalt
Etymology: [G. wacke, MHG. wacke a large stone, OHG. waggo a pebble.]
