The most contradicting word in the english language. people use extraordinary as something thats amazing or special in some way. but if there's ordinary and extraordinary. EXTRA-ORDINARY. if somethings extra ordinary then its just more ordinary than other things. how does that make is special in any way other than the fact that its more plain and boring than everything else. Urban Dictionary

One of the prettiest girls you will ever meet. She is really special since she's different from other girls- she's smart, kind, beautiful, funny and thoughtful. Her sense of humor is a little bit off-beat but once you get to know it, it's hilarious. She gets along with most people but if she gets into an argument with someone she will defend her position and win the argument. She's shy and reserved but when you spend enough time with her she opens up to be a funny, supportive and all around great friend. Getting guys, she has no problem but she's not even close to a whore. She usually has a boyfriend but hasn't had many serious relationships. People just love her. :) Urban Dictionary

An adjective to describe how something is more ordinary than ordinary. In other words, it means that somethying is more equal than equal which does not make sense I shall now use mathematics to prove my theory. x must always equal to x there is no such way that x=x+1 unless x happens to be infinity then infinity +1 would still equal to infinity because nobody bothers to count that high. therefore extraordinary does not make sense unless it is used on a very ordinary but not ordinary subject Urban Dictionary

Extraordinary does actually make sense if you educate yourself a little bit. It does not mean more ordinary, people seem to think this because "extra" usually means more when used alone. However, "ex", the Latin prefix used in extraordinary, means "out of". So word means "out of the ordinary," and now everything makes sense. Also, extra, when used in Latin meant beyond, so again the word would mean "beyond ordinary." Make sense? Take extraterrestrial, it means out of or beyon earth (terra meaning earth) and it has the same prefix as extraordinary. Yay! Urban Dictionary

Someone who surpasses every goal they make, a miracle and wonder to everyone, a trend setter comedian a beautiful angel and the love of my life Urban Dictionary

Exceptional, outstanding, outrageous, unique, incredible or ridiculous, odd, strange, weird. This word itself is "extraordinary" because this adjective can be used to describe good things and bad things. Most commonly it is used to describe good things. This is the word that should be used when one has "no words" for something. Any person, action, idea, event etc, that may leave you speechless, this is the word to use for that. Urban Dictionary

1. Someone who surpasses all the goal they set 2. A miracle, mystery to everyone, original and perfectly different, beautiful and hilarious, the only person I have ever truly loved, the only one for me, my Bella. My extraordinary. Urban Dictionary

Something extremely plain and boring and not worthy of being anything except worse than ordinary. Urban Dictionary
