"For the love of God, stop using this word. It's not clever, it's not funny and it's not original. You sound just the same as all the other clone-like teenagers who think they're oh so unique for saying it. Give it a fucking rest." and "Trouble is, being 'random' is predictable, boring, moronic and extremely sad indeed."
OK. So you'll never catch me trying to be hip at the risk of sounding clone-like, not to mention moronic and sad. Not that it ever occurred to me to even try out the word. I can't even speak pidgin properly, and I live in Hawaii where it's pretty much the State Language.
Where DO these things start, anyway?? A lot of new stuff originates from gamers, and those are actually interesting, but what lame-o came up with "random"??
My visit to UrbanDictionary.com was enlightening. In fact, I might add its Word of the Day to my blog. Today's is below, which reminds me, I have to revisit my state return because TurboTax took liberties and shortcuts with my information, and I think I could do better manually.

Taxgasm
A heightened state of excitement or ecstasy over the completion of any facet of the taxation process. Usually experienced by CPAs.
I am so excited about the new tax folders I am having a taxgasm!

I aint sure what th "new" meanin o 'random' is. My cmplaint is that th werd is OVRUSED in its original meanin. Like in th blogassfear -- just surf a wile an note how many blogs got 'random' eithr in th title or in th little desckriptive blurb. Then note how many have some werd thats closely rlated to 'random' in eithr o them places.
DIAGNOSIS: Most bloggin is self-consciously purpusless.
I think an under used word is "Chuck Norris", it's a noun, verb, anything! It mainly means 'very fatal roundhouse kick'. In fact the Chuck Norris obsession might reach you soon in Hawaii. You should learn more about Chuck Norris at chucknorrisfacts.com
joey: I never noticed since I don't surf around, but I wonder how many of those uses of "random" is the "new" (stupid) meaning.
salbert: Chuck Norris? Now, he's a geezer :) Personally, I think Jet Li's a better choice, especially since his name already sounds like an adjective.
