<jargon> /J rand'm/ (Generalised from J. Random Hacker)
Arbitrary; ordinary; any one; any old. "J. Random" is often
prefixed to a noun to make a name out of it. It means roughly
"some particular" or "any specific one". "Would you let
J. Random Loser marry your daughter?" The most common uses
are "J. Random Hacker", "J. Random Loser", and "J. Random
Nerd" ("Should J. Random Loser be allowed to gun down other
people?"), but it can be used simply as an elaborate version
of random in any sense.
