Omega event
An event that requires an exception to the rules. Thought to always be possible, no matter how encompassing the rules are. Coined by @Yishan (Twitter) who credited Erik Martin, one of Reddit's first community managers, with the concept.
We have become so accustomed to the notion of “free speech, except” that we do not realize that free speech is ALWAYS limited, and that every limit arose from an Omega Event. - Yishan

alternafact
An opinion treated by its holder as if it were a fact; also, usually relevant facts are available and are more broadly accepted due to the preponderance of evidence supporting them. The opinion is therefore an "alternative" fact. Coined by Jim McCarthy in 2020.
That we can safely stay open standing shoulder to shoulder in the slaughterhouse 10 hours/day, Mr. Tyson, may be an alternafact.
