Somebody said this was an aversion. How old is that troper, exactly.
Ja`mie: Oh my god, ties are so random. Like, what are they anyway, just pieces of fabric?
That's not how random is used. Random means "Slightly odd." Random doesn't mean "It doesn't make sense."
This Troper is 15, by the way.

One of the definitions for my random in my dictionary is: "Something that does not logically follow from what occured before."
Technically that means about the same thing as something not making sense.

No, technically it means "something that does not logically follow from what occured before". What occured before ties, that they fail to follow logically from?
Anyway, that's the literal meaning, so is irrelevent as to whether it's being correctly used as slang. (I'm 35, and freely admit I have no idea if it is or not.)

The 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' entry contains the following phrase: 'He notes that none of what is described as "drug culture slang" is incorrect'. Shouldn't it be 'everything [...] is incorrect' or 'none [...] is correct' instead?
