Definition
随随便便 is the reduplicated form of 随便 (suíbiàn, 'casual'). It describes an attitude or manner that is overly casual, careless, or sloppy — often with a critical or negative tone. You can use it as an adverb before verbs (e.g. 随随便便地做 'do it carelessly') or as a predicate adjective (e.g. 他太随随便便了 'he is too sloppy'). The reduplication intensifies the sense of arbitrariness or lack of discipline, unlike the neutral 随便.
