off the edge

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

That sweet spot between quirky and concerning where someone's behavior raises eyebrows but doesn't quite warrant an intervention. You're unconventional enough to make people nervous at dinner parties, but not so far gone that anyone's calling your therapist. Often associated with recreational experimentation and a growing disdain for social norms.

Example Usage

Ever since Jake started microdosing and wearing tie-dye to board meetings, everyone agrees he's going a bit off the edge.
