THIS is Random, and courtesy of www.randimaginator.tk/ for that extra guaranteed randomness

# Ha!
I've made a random comic in my time, but the images seem to be lost again

# I know this to be true
But the phrase is such a common one that even I'm in the habit of using it sometimes without thinking, and when I do realise I can never think of a suitable replacement- want to help me out?

Also- Ironic.
That gets used inappropriately all the time, but we mostly learn meanings from usage, and I struggle with that one too. I've looked it up many, many times, and still can't quite figure out proper context

# the song 'Ironic' is not a good yard-stick for the word.
which in itself is kinda ironic, and quite possibly was the original intention.

# I know, that's my point
But you can take that one example and make it ironic, I just can't get a definition clear enough in my head to do it elsewhere

# People mostly use the term random
when they actually mean weird, strange or silly

But I do understand that if everyone is using it, it's hard to steer clear of it. And once you do use it, nobody understands you any more :)
