A quirk is a small, odd habit or feature that makes a person or thing a little unusual — usually in a harmless, even likeable way. For example, "his quirk is that he always eats dessert first," or "a quirk in the software makes the button move sometimes." It's used both for people's odd little habits and for small strange things about how a machine or system behaves.
