coincidencialism 

the belief that there is no higher truth or purpose and that everything is just the result of a highly unlikely chain of coincidence after coincidence, and thus there is no way of knowing what will happen, nor is there any reason to why it happens.
coincidencialism is believing that everything that happens are just coincidences.

Coincident 

The dent ALREADY ON the exact spot of the car you near nearly drove into.
"I was on my way down to the Yentagon when some joker cuts me off. And wouldn't you know it... total coincident! Right on the fender I was about to slam into!"

As they don't say:

"Better a coincident than a $500 deductible."

Coincidentification

The act of explaining away any pattern, correlation, or meaningful connection as mere coincidence. Coincidentification dismisses evidence of causality, synchronicity, or design as “just chance,” often without statistical or logical analysis. It is common in hyper‑skeptic circles, where any suggestion of non‑random structure is met with “that’s a coincidence.” Critics argue that coincidentification is a form of cognitive laziness: it avoids investigating the pattern. It also ignores that coincidences can be real and informative (e.g., rare alignments that signal causation). It is the opposite of apophenia.
Coincidentification Example: “He coincidentified the repeated failures of the bridge as ‘just bad luck,’ ignoring the engineering reports. His dismissal delayed repairs until the collapse. Coincidence was not a safety strategy.”

Coincidentally ironic 

When some is a coincidence but it is also ironic
When you work at a knife factor but you forget to take one for yourself to use for a party. This would be deemed coincidentally ironic.

Coincidental Race Theory 

a theory that racism doesn’t exist and it’s all just a big coincidence that minoritized peoples have ended up where they are in Western societies, particularly the US; often espoused by people who are defensively insistent not only that they are not racist, but that there is no way they could possibly BE racist.
Forget what they learning in school, this prejudice moron must have learned more about Coincidental Race Theory from his own ignorant parents.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
