Normal is not bludgeoning a priest to death with a badger.
...Thank you Daystar, you continue to make my day.

Normal is what seems in the norm for you.
Tautology is tautological! Sadly, it is only slightly alliterative.

Normal is what other people think you should be like.

And as Ze Frank once said, "Remeber, what other people think of you is none of your business."

That said, I think it's in your best interest to at least give the nod to "Normal" while you pass him on the street, if you understand my meaning. Put more directly, going to the grocery store dressed in a tutu with a reverse mohawk haircut and quietly sniggering to yourself while distributing dog turds to passerby isn't going to win you many friends.

We can all stand to be a little normal.

To Clarify, what exactly is a normal person and what do they do, what do they look like.
Um... cliched and average? 9 to 5 job, semi hot spouse, 2 kids (boy and girl), drives a toyota (or equal value), white (or white mixed, and the name is John?

Normal is whatever the vast majority of society deems normal. There's really no other way to describe it (unless you include mathematics).

For me normal is living your life however you want it, as long as you aren't hurting anyone ;d

For society it is many different things (ironically), but most of them are bullshit.

Makes me think of a joke in Big Bang Theory, where Leonard says something like: "Guess who won the contest?" And Sheldon says: "Muhammod Li? ....What? It's the most common first and last name in the world, I thought I would increase my odds of being correct."

Made me laugh.

This.
Normal is such a vague and broad term when generally used, but all I know is that I certainly am not it.
And if I am I'm doing something wrong and need to change it pronto.

No, I'm not going that far.

It can mean average/most common, or alternatively be used by snobs who are all to prevelent in life that like to belittle others for not blindly following what everyone else likes or is interested in.

Now here is the strange thing....

A lot of people here and around the world claim that they are not "normal".

Therefore it seems to be normal to think you are not normal.

I'd say 'normal' is just a matter of opinion, so it kind of has to do with what the majority is.

Someone can shower three times a day, that might seem normal to the person but not to the majority of everyone else who doesn't do the same, so they see it as not normal.

No-one is normal, as everyone are unique in their own way.

That?s basically my philosophical take on it. But I understand that normal is subjective to location, culture and subculture, as someone else said, and dependent on majority.

Normality is a delusion caused by a psychotropic deficiency.
