Definition:
Two people who live together or are intertwined romantically that are grossly different from each other and would not normally get along under other circumstances. For instance, one person in the couple could be an introvert and the other an extrovert, although there are normally several distinct differences between the two partners to have the term "odd couple" used to describe a specific relationship.
An odd couple can also refer to two heterosexual bachelors living together, who are enjoying their singledom to the fullest.
"Odd Couple" was originally coined by Neil Simon in 1965, as the title of a play about two roommates that didn't get along. A film (1968) very successful television show (1970-1975) followed.
Also Known As: incompatibility, roommates, strange bedfellows
