Lindsey took this picture at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She says the shop sold weird medallions with angels on them. I think in this case, "interesting" is euphemism for "weird" or possibly "boring".
In my family, "interesting" means... A. I have not even heard what you just said. B. I am certainly not thinking about it, nor will I ever. C. I've already begun planning dinner in my head while you were talking just now. D. That was anything but interesting.

Or "cult-like." :D
OMG, my friend just sent me the link to your blog and I'm sitting here cracking up! THANK YOU for doing this!
Hmmmm, very "interesting."
You know what's "interesting"? The shop is in the Lord of the RIngs. [shire]
I'm guessing the term "shire" can be used more broadly - after all, tolkien was a midevalist.
Yes. In the mid-west, "interesting" is indeed a euphemism for "weird" or "bizarre" or anything that the speaker finds not to their liking.
Usually said with a beat or two silence before, as in: My, Carol, that's an...interesting hair color you have there.
