surreal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'parisian's on concrete' is the wordplay.
'parisian's on' becomes 'sur' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'concrete' becomes 'real' (associated in meaning).
'sur'+'real'='SURREAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for surreal that I've seen before include "Odd" , "strange" , "Weird - like Dali's paintings?" , "Bizarre, fantastic" , "Dreamlike, irrational" .)
