"I *have* heard a lot of college and hs students using the word 'random' to refer to other things "

Dear God! I confess already! I often use the word random to refer to nappropriate or non sequitur comments, quirky individuals or habits, and generally weird or curious observations. Example: "Did you see that dog pee on my leg? Wow, that was pretty random!"

Now I expect the random murmering of the voices beneath the floorboards to quit their intrusions into my thought processes.

"Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell."
