This is a word that I always thought was not contentious and means “doesn’t conform to a pattern” (my definition). It’s a word that my daughter uses frequently and in the ways that she uses it has come to mean a variety of things.
Urban Dictionary calls it, "The latest buzzword used amongst mindless teenagers as a way of showing just so utterly irreverent their predictable sense of humour is. Particularly dominant among English teens and University students, the word "random" or the act of being "random" is a desperate plea for others to recognise how totally against the grain of the norm you are and that you're really crazy and out there. Trouble is, being "random" is predictable, boring, moronic and extremely sad indeed."
Example: “Omg I have to tell you what happened it was just so random!”
