The generation of "random" words has been a fascination of mine for a while. The term "random" isn't quite appropriate, though, as it doesn't just throw together some consonants and vowels into something that may be pronouncable. Instead, the generator needs to be seeded with a group of words (the more the better) from which it learns what kind of words you want to generate. The generator tears those words apart, learns how they're constructed, then randomly reassembles the components of those words into new ones, driven by the rules by which the original words were made.

A stock character is a fictional character that relies heavily on cultural types or stereotypes for its personality, manner of speech, and other characteristics. Stock characters are instantly recognizable to members of a given culture. Because of this, a frequent device of both comedy and parody is to wildly exaggerate the expected mannerisms of stock characters.
