Bizarre request - go out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grotesque

'bizarre' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'request go out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'request'+'go'='requestgo'
'requestgo' anagrammed gives 'GROTESQUE'.

(Other definitions for grotesque that I've seen before include "Outlandish" , "Fantastically hideous" , "Comically ugly" , "Freakish" , "Horribly distorted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
