Touchy, eh? The QOTW is asking for trouble, the phrase "Random" is pretty much hated by anyone who has ever used it in its proper sense, of course people are going to whinge about it.

Random is not a phrase.
I mean, if we're being strict about adhering to definitions of words.

I will no longer refer to it as a phrase when idiots stop using it as a one word catch-all term that lazily contextualises anything outside of an individual's normal life experience. Sorry if it's, just like, so random, the way this guy on the Internet is moaning about words.

that should be
"contextualises lazily".

Have a wank and a nap.
It will help.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake though, I will bear it in mind in future. Unfortunately you will probably hang on to bloody random. Still, it's a good quick way of working out who is likely to be a twat in a bar.

Oh, I assure you, that works both ways.
Don't go changing now.

Indeed.
Anyone in a bar who engages in language pedantry is clearly some sort of intellectual masturbator with significant control issues.
