The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon
Baader-Meinhof is the phenomenon where one happens upon some obscure piece of information – often an unfamiliar word or name– and soon afterwards encounters the same subject again, often repeatedly.
Anytime the phrase “That’s so weird, I just heard about that the other day” would be appropriate, the utterer is hip-deep in Baader-Meinhof.
