A decidedly ironic word.

Considering that when words such as cheese become officially considered as random words they then cease to become random and in fact become irritating and even dull.

Maybe another word should be created for things which are turly said out of the blue as using the word random just demeans them.
Inane idiot 1 - HEHE Cheese!

Inane idiot 2 - That was, like, so random.

A word used by a 30 year old character in the sketch show Little Britain when he wants to get breast fed. And not just by his mother. The nana-bitty scene was very disturbing.

The word originate as it was a mix of breast and titty.
Bitty.

Now's not the time dear.

I'm hungry. Bitty.

OK
