random

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.

Random

A synonym for "nobody." Used to refer to someone you consider to be so inconsequential that any effect their presence has on the situation could be just as effectively produced by any other person in the world instead of them.

A derogatory name to deny any uniqueness or individuality a person has.

Randomitus

A disease that infects randomness into someones soul causing them to be random for 16 minutes to 92 hours at a time.

Common symptoms: Not being able to sleep, shouting random words at random times, making noodles with peanut butter and olive oil as the broth, being called anything that rhymes with to or toe,or playing World of Warcraft for 15 hours straight and not actually doing anything productive in those 15 hours.

The disease was discovered some time in December in the year 1953 when a man reading the first edition of the playboy magazine in Miami, Florida was hit by a bullet in the right index finger causing him to develop the first and most severe case of Randomitus known to man. The disease spread as he entered a diner and infected the 13 people in there, of the 13 people 11 of them had to receive urgent medical care to cure them of said disease, the 2 that didn't get medical care were found riding donkeys with a pink backpack full of melting coffee ice cream wearing a drench coat while screaming the words to the novel Casino Royale at the top of their lungs. They were detained for disorderly conduct by the Miami Police Department.

Doctor: Well, it seems you have had contact with the disease and we'll need to begin treatment ASAP.
Mr.Gotoeboejoeto: Yo yo yo, when can a home boy get sum medz up hea.
Doctor: Just one moment, let me write you up a prescription.
Mr.Gotoeboejoeto: あなたに非常に親切な男をありがとうございます。
Doctor: What?
Mr.Gotoeboejoeto: I gotta go, I just remembered that my peanut butter olive oil noodle broth is done.
Doctor: Bye.

15min later at Casa De Mr.Gotoeboejoeto.

pseudo-random

Describing a sequence of numbers generated by a deterministic computer that is seemingly random, but eventually repeats. Good pseudo-random number generators have very long periods before the sequence repeats.
The date Easter falls on is pseudo-random in that it cannot be predicted off the top of someone's head, and it takes 5.7 million years for the sequence to repeat.

To generate a pseudo-random number in C, you'd use the Rand(); function.
