Confused by Titles? Learn About Titles That Dont Mean Anything (Quick Explanation)

Okay, so I had this idea for a project, you know, one of those “brilliant” ideas that hit you in the shower? I wanted to generate a bunch of, well, titles that don’t actually mean anything. I was trying to do some creative writing. Pure gibberish, but formatted like real titles. Don’t ask me why, I just felt like it.

First, I banged my head against the keyboard. Literally. Not really, but it felt like it. I tried to think of a way to randomly combine words. Started with a simple list of nouns, verbs, adjectives… the usual suspects.

I have to create several lists:

• One called “adjectives”
• One called “nouns”
• One called “verbs”
• Then one “conjunctions”

Then, I fiddled around with some basic Python code. Nothing fancy, just some random choices from those lists. I mashed them together with spaces in between. It looked something like this (don’t try to run this, it’s just a simplified example):

import random
adjectives = ["fluffy", "purple", "gigantic", "sleepy"]

nouns = ["unicorn", "toaster", "banana", "regret"]
verbs = ["dances", "explodes", "sings", "vanishes"]
def make_a_title():
return *(adjectives) + " " + *(nouns) + " " + *(verbs)

I ran that a few times, and I got stuff like “Fluffy Unicorn Dances” and “Purple Toaster Explodes”. Okay, getting somewhere, but still too… sensible?

So, I tweaked it. I added more words to the lists. Weirder words. Words like “Quantum,” “Existential,” “Sprocket,” and “Tuesday.” I also threw in some random conjunctions and prepositions (“of,” “with,” “beyond,” “because”).

I changed to this:

import random
adjectives = ["fluffy", "purple", "gigantic", "sleepy", "quantum", "existential"]
nouns = ["unicorn", "toaster", "banana", "regret", "sprocket", "tuesday"]

verbs = ["dances", "explodes", "sings", "vanishes", "contemplates", "yearns"]
conjunctions = ["of", "with", "beyond", "because", "despite"]
def make_a_title():
structure = *([
"adj noun verb",

"adj noun conj adj noun",
"noun verb conj adj noun"

if structure == "adj noun verb":
return *(adjectives) + " " + *(nouns) + " " + *(verbs)
elif structure == "adj noun conj adj noun":

return *(adjectives) + " " + *(nouns) + " " + *(conjunctions) + " " + *(adjectives) + " " + *(nouns)
elif structure == "noun verb conj adj noun":
return *(nouns) + " " + *(verbs) + " " + *(conjunctions) + " " + *(adjectives) + " " +     *(nouns)

I messed with the code to sometimes add two adjectives, or a conjunction, or just string together five random words. The goal was maximum nonsense, but still looking like a title.

After a while, I had a whole page of these things. Stuff like:

• “Existential Banana Yearns Because Gigantic Tuesday”
• “Quantum Sprocket Contemplates With Fluffy Regret”
• “Sleepy Unicorn Dances Beyond Purple Toaster”

I stared at the list. Mission accomplished? I guess. Did it have any profound meaning? Nope. Was it fun? Absolutely. Sometimes, you just gotta embrace the absurdity, right? It’s like a brain dump, but with extra steps. And slightly more organized.

I have finished what I wanted to do and got the titles!

Anyway, that’s my story of how I spent an afternoon generating meaningless titles. Maybe I’ll use them for something someday. Or maybe they’ll just sit there, being gloriously nonsensical. Who knows.
