Our house was broken into and then exactly two weeks later a man came knocking on our door from pinnacle security and offered us an alarm system i grew suspicious at that moment but i later thought its just a cool incidence.

Do you think there might be a rule stating that if asked a question, one must not hold back anything? Or do you think it’s just a cool incidence that every time someone asks for information, the host says “I’ll hold back nothing” and does not hesitate to tell the story?

I like it. It’s not just a boring coincidence, it’s a cool incidence.

I wonder if some of these could be cupertinos that arise when the user tries to hyphenate “coincidence” (i.e., “co-incidence”)? Though making “cool” out of “co-” seems a bit of a reach for a spelling checker.

The chances are huge that most of these are silicisms or WTFT. There are more than 400 ghits for “cooincidence”. In the last hit she acknowledges the cool part, and no spell checker would offer coolincident, so there’s that.
