Maahey, ubiquiphany is Faldage's improvement of a rough draft I sent him privately. The signal to noise ratio in these fora has deteriorated rapidly, and markedly, of late, so I decided to make sure he could hear me by sending him a PM. Serendubiquity was my first attempt, the one I threw into the open here.

I like serendubiquity. It's got dubious hidden in it (channeling Dub Dub'-e)

I like serendubiquity. It's got dubious hidden in itYes, it's a fine coinage if the phenomenon we are describing was dubious, and not simply rare and sudden and oftimes felicitous. The only thing "dubious" about "serendubiquity" is its eligibility for this "contest" in the first place. I agree with simaq, "the signal to noise ratio in these fora has deteriorated rapidly". The next thing you know someone is going to suggest "serendupidity". As long as it isn't me, it will probably get serious consideration. Frankly, I think you got robbed, Rhubarb. That's what happens when the Judge sits on his own case with no appeal to anyone who makes any sense. Just kiddin', Faldage. At least we can say we agreed on "altasensitivity".

Faldage, you are looking for a word for "out of the blue and everywhere", like the first rain of our lives, right?

"out of the blue and everywhere"
It needs a personal precipitating event, I think. Like the red car example, it wouldn't happen if I hadn't bought the red car to start with. But otherwise, yeah, that's about it.
