What is the synonym for "screwy"?

"Screwy" is an informal phrase, meaning something is odd or unusual. I think it is mostly used in America, and I don't think it's extremely common. Phil uses it because it is a phrase that is associated with the 1920s, which matches the fashion he and his family are dressed in. Some other synonyms would be, peculiar, strange, weird or bizarre. Ex: The dog is acting really screwy. Ex: Don't get any screwy ideas.
