the photos you just uploaded onto your facebook page and labeled “random photos” were not chosen at random, unless you threw them up in the air and grabbed each photo from the ground [at random], and scanned them in. even if you have a photo of a piece of toast, a picture of you in peru, a picture of barack obama, one of your kitten and one of your condo, you still consciously decided to upload these photos onto facebook (and probably in a specific order). therefore, the random photos argument can almost always be refuted. they may be weird, and have no order per se, but this does not make them random. these photos could properly be referred to as miscellaneous photos, since they do not all share a common theme or were not all taken at the same location.
is there a word that is often [badly] misused that just bugs the crap outta you? |

i don't agree or see how they can't fall under the "random" category. what would qualify a photo for being random then? i don't think they're implying they are "chosen at random" to go into a album. i think they mean they are random photos, so they labeled them that.
i can't think of a word right now that is badly misused. |

I just hate when people use words from the ebonics dictionary. If I have to 2nd guess a word that I'm reading which is supposed to be in English (hell even if it was in Italian or Spanish for that matter), it truly makes me wanna punch the person's mother in the stomach while fantasying that she's pregnant with the shitty typer / writer.

I think by "random" they mean that they aren't specifically categorized. Don't shat yourself, holy bejeebus.

Maybe random was a random title picked arbitrarily... since as you say, it doesn't describe the contents of the folder, it does fit.
