the.com/meaningless
the void's favorite adjective, thrown at everything from small talk to the universe itself.
means lacking significance, purpose, or interpretable content — nothing to decode because there's nothing hidden inside.
from from old english maenan, to intend or signify, plus the suffix -less; the word literally means 'without intending anything,' which is a suspiciously deep thing for a word about emptiness to do.
