on a related note..
the worthless word for the day is: diegogarcity
[fr. Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean atoll; after serendipity]
"a term used [at Wordorigins.org] to denote the appearance
of another term in multiple sources shortly after you have
looked it up in the dictionary" (or first noticed it)
"I've heard "diegogarcity" suggested for this, which was
coined along these lines: the experience is a little like
serendipity. The etymology for the latter word relates to
the island, Serendip, in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia
is another island in those waters, providing a parallel
for serendipity if such be desired."
