(spûrj)
A random exclamation shouted to a person or group of
people in order to express nothing in particular, other than
one's presence. 1
Can also be used as a means of starting or continuing a dwindling conversation. 2
Derives from the common name for the Euphorbia genus of plants: the
plant is an illustration of randomness and lack of neccessity, just like the word itself
E.G. 1 John (to Mike whilst approaching him from across the street): "Spurge!"

Harry (to Tim on, for
