Word of the Week - 45

RANDOM

Hello Everyone. Hope you had a lovely Easter. I'm back again now with a new word of the week. I have chosen this word because, according to my mother, I say it about ten times a day.

The word is an adjective with the most common usage being to describe something that is done or happens by chance rather than by following some kind of plan.

I asked a random selection of people what they thought about the film.
The winners were chosen at random from a hat.

In slang the word can be used to mean 'weird' or 'strange'.

He's been acting a bit randomly of late.

Oh, that's a bit random isn't it?
