Random

For a while there, it appeared the the word "random" was the enemy of the English language. Adjectives disappeared and were replaced by this bland and slightly confusing term. Suddenly everything was random; "OMG that's so random!" girls with orange faces and messy hair would cry.

I found this really perplexing. Surely the Lottery is random, as is jury selection. Most other things in life have some type of order to them.

Then random was applied to human beings. No longer were there people; only randomers. It was Newspeak at its best.

Thankfully now the threat of random armageddon appears to have abated. But random has not gone away, it's still lurking, bidding it's time - plotting the demise of the English language from Random HQ.
