(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!"
Mike: "Hey man!"
E.G. 2 Harry (to Tim on, for example, Facebook Chat at the very start of a conversation): "Spuuuuurge!!"
Tim: "Spoouurrge!!!! How's it goin man?"
