(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?"
