"Weird, huh?" Curling up in the trunk would be weird?
The "i before e, except after c" rule breaks down on this word. Weird huh?

The "i before e, except after c" rule breaks down on this word. Weird huh? I learned it as: "I before E except after C, unless sounded as 'A' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'."
But that still leaves out "weird". It's definitely an outlier.
