Is there any differences?

Is there any difference worth mentioning between these 4 words?

1) Strange

2) Odd

3) Weird

4) Bizarre

I know they basically mean the same thing but it has to be something! Can somebody make it clear? Is weird one offensive when spoken to a person?

You're correct - there isn't much difference between them. Additionlly, all of them could be offensive depending upon the context. John

That's what I thought.

Let's say a friend of mine said that I have weird tastes (we were talking about computer games). I got a feeling that weird here is more than simply strange. More like they ain't really normal (my tastes). From what I know (though I'm not a native speaker, therefore my English is quite limited)

You have strange tastes - well, nothing wrong here. Strange i
