Thanks!:)

Okay, the last idiom was "every now and then" which means "sometimes".

I read it in the Chat and asked Barb for the meaning.

As for:

" the odd man/one out" it means like "exceptional" ...

I think that it has actually a negative meaning, while "exceptional" is positive.
An odd man out should be one who is different from the other because he/she behaves crazily, or in a weird way. J

The word I learnt few minutes ago is innocuous and I used bi-lingual (English-Croatian) dictionary to find the meaning. I like it as much as I like the book I found it in ("The Byzantines" by Averil Cameron).
