you know what they say about nickels and strange occurences
This is a phrase based on the iconic Doofenshmirtz phrase, "Wow, if I had a nickel for the every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?" The phrase is not only a shortening of the phrase, but makes it easy to add to a conversation without jumpcutting to "haha funny reference".
Dude, this girl fell in love with me, dumped me, forgot she dated me, fell in love with me again, and dumped me AGAIN! Sigh, you know what they say about nickels and strange occurences...

While originally an acronym standing for "shaking my head", its current usage leans it towards synonymy with "I can't believe you" with a playful tone.
