Chosen, done or happening by chance.

Many here on this site defining the word have given example that are random(even though they say they aren't), over use doesn't made a word invalid.

If I ask someone "how are you?" and they reply "cheese" unless they decided that ahead of time it is in fact random. Things can be random and have some sort of intent IE a random sample for a study.

When people are with their friends and have conversations of how kitten ninjas steal tacos they are speaking randomly as there is no method the their madness.

I'm a random person as proud of it!!! Hot dog frogs!
My chicken dinner saw Shrek 3 with Bobby Flay and Rosa parks. (There are words and a scenario I chose at random)

While there maybe better word choices the word still applies.

a person who you bump into, normally in a club or a festival campsite, who comes up and talks to you, and you have a long pointless conversation. normally the random and yourself are pissed when said conversation occurs. if in a festival campsite, give the random a beer, or wine or dope.
