And you consistently get it WRONG. The word is NOT "OUTRE", despite the
distortions in spelling the Crossword will tolerate. If you look it up in a real
dictionary, Bart, you will find you need to use the accent-acute on the 'e'. The
word is "outré' NOT 'outre'.

If you are going to be pretentious enough to use a French import where a more
common English word would do fine, then why can't you at least spell it right?
