Attempting to be funny and random

What anybody under the age of 13 tries to do ALL OF THE TIME on the Internet. You can tell they are doing this if they use any of the following words:

1. Cheese
2. Toast
3. Spork
4. Evil
5. Squirrel/Chicken

Click on any of those words and you will most likely find some inane attempt at being funny by some 12-year-old crone.

When I looked up this word, one of the suggestions was "50 Facts About Women". Oh, how convenient.
