прил.1. общ.а) где-то рядом, где-то там|| The truth is out there. — Истина где-то рядом.
2. жарг.а) необычныйб) эксцентричный|| He blends sublime pop moments with some real out-there stuff.
в) сумасшедшийг) свихнувшийся|| I like the ideas Melissa came up with but Brad's ideas were just out there.
"Out there," indicates that there is distance between what is considered outside and where you are standing. For example, if you ask where the swimming pool is located, you might receive the reply, "It's out there," meaning the pool is located outside and away from where you are currently standing. It can also mean outrageous or ridiculous... "Her ideas are really out there." Finally, it may also refer to the universe... "The truth is out there," meaning, "The truth is somewhere in the universe waiting to be discovered."
