The PhD. teaching the course called me out about how in the world does an 80s communist German terror organisation have anything to do with out discussion.

I sent her some links, and let her know she will being seeing those words in her life more frequently now.

Please do! I have had the actual phenomenon happen to me a lot (first time I ever remember was when I learned what “serendipitous” was and then the next day I heard it used in the movie Let’s Go To Prison lol), but I never knew what it was called until I googled it recently, and now the name popped up in the wild
