Weird people having time for miscellaneous article (7)
I believe the answer is:
oddment
'miscellaneous article' is the definition.
'weird people having time' is the wordplay.
'weird' becomes 'odd' (I've seen this before).
'people' becomes 'men' (men can refer to humanity as a whole).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'odd'+'men'+'t'='ODDMENT'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oddment that I've seen before include "Just a bit left" , "Leftover piece" , "Curiosity, peculiarity" , "Piece left over, no match" , "Leftover item" .)
