A girl in the outskirts of Bristol? That's odd! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abnormal

'that's odd' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a girl in the outskirts of bristol?' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'norma' ().
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outskirts of' suggests removing the centre (only letters on the outskirts).
'bristol' with its middle removed is 'bl'.
'norma' put into 'bl' is 'bnormal'.
'a'+'bnormal'='ABNORMAL'

(Other definitions for abnormal that I've seen before include "Deviating from the usual" , "Deviant or unnatural" , "Different to what is ordinary or expected" , "The reverse of 32 Across" , "'Aberrant, atypical (8)'" .)
