"random" number
 
Hey kids!

We all make up numbers in conversation. Has anyone else found they commonly use the same number? Mine tends to start with "86". What's yours?

My random number generation code is better than yours.





No, really... I usually use different ones that come up totally from nowhere.

37 often comes up in mine.

i tend to add 'thousand' or 'billion' to the end of my made up numbers.
for example
'omg i had to do 16 thousand dishes last night!' real number would be roughly 16

i tend not to use numbers in conversation

If i need to emphasise in such a way I usually rely on the expresion

"more/better/less/fewer/greater/taller (etc.) than Jesus"

this is also the only time I use the word Jesus in conversation. at all other times I refer to him as Joshua bar Joseph.

these two idiosyncracies combine to ensure that at all times i am likely to offend any evangelical christian who may be listening.

Often 14.
Generally from 1 upto but not including 18.

Re: "random" number
 
Things that end in 7, varying with roughly what I think a half decent suggestion would be.

Eleventeen is also good.

Re: "random" number
 
What stew said.
I generally go for odd numbers.
Twelvety and Eleventeen are also going to be used now thanks to this thread.

Re: "random" number
 
I don`t really talk about numbers much in conversation, unless it`s about the price of beer. I often see numbers around; 222 is/has been occuring for many years now for some sort of "spooky" reason??! Often at work I see the number 666 on the pH meter. OMG. I guess I`m just being paranoid.

excellent, but when saying it out loud make sure you say 'than jesus' last for maximum shock value.

11

JonnyBGood 27 Apr 2005 14:25

Re: "random" number
 
I often use twelve (with a thousand or million stuck on the end if necesssary) in conversation.


PS 37 is used because it seems more random as it's a prime number and the digits are as averagely spaced as you can manage.

Boogster 28 Apr 2005 00:44

Re: "random" number
 
I use 8. Even because everyone always picks an odd number. Low, because people tend to pick high.
