In action:

Everyone was invited to the BBQ but me and when I asked Jim about it he encouraged me to come along. But you know, when I got there, I really just felt like the odd man out.

Have you ever watched the movie "Stand By Me"? They all flip coins to decided who is the odd man out. Gordie is the odd man out and he has to go to the store to buy food.
