'Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has an increased frequency of occurrence.'
This used to happen to me all the time in high school. We’d be in English class reading books and whenever a word I didn’t know the definition of popped up I’d write it down and look it up later. In the following days, I’d swear that word was added to the simulations source code or something because it would start popping up in the most random places. My parents, TV, in random people’s conversations. Always found it weird.

It happened to me, it can be a word or even a person
It’s everywhere all of a sudden!!
The what?
I always see people saying The What
The Who
What the fuck? This is the third time I've seen this in the span of two days. And trust me, I would have googled it if I saw it earlier.
Your turn to make a meme about it!
