Volunteer plant in my yard. I grows around the neighborhood and we call it a weed. But I think it is rather nice. Opinion?

It's pretty. The truth about plants. If you like it, it's a plant. If you don't like it, it's a weed. Everybody else's opinion does not matter.

A weed is ANY plant that doesn't grow where you want it to.

Looks like garlic mustard to me. Very invasive plant that has taken over many wooded areas in my locale. First up in Spring, last to go dormant in fall. Grows in large thick patches that quickly dominate an area. Detrimental to native wildflowers. It is kind of pretty.

I believe the definition of a weed is, a plant out of place.

Though I'm in your court on this, try convincing an HOA lawn patrol of that fact.

All have a purpose. You just have to recognize it! I have those in my yard also.

Thanks for all the comments. I looked up Garlic Mustard and while the leaves look correct for my plant, the flowers on my specimen have what appear to be double and have "whiskers", making it look kind of fuzzy. Perhaps I have a mutant !!! At any rate I will still consider it a rampant plant and confine any this year to one location.
I do appreciate the feedback. Happy Spring.

I put it slightly differently: "A weed is any plant that grows where you don't want it to."
