It’s funny because I just learned about the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon a couple weeks ago

I used the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon in a online discussion thread in my masters language aquisition course work.

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
