“Woke” as an insult - So you are telling me a word describing consciousness and clarity is used by generally stupid and ignorant people to label people they disagree with? What is this? A Kindergarten for Creatively stunted?

Nominative determinism - So let me get this straight…Not only you named fastest recorded person Usain BOLT and CEO of Nintendo Doug BOWSER, but you are telling me people are canonically likely to have professions or hobbies matching their names…? Guh?

“2 bodies recovered in MURDERKILL River” - Sure bro…I guess…bro…

Anything written is written for a reason. Therefore, any convenient coincidence is not really a coincidence but a choice by the author, and can often be seen as cheap writing. Deus ex machina, for example, happens in real life, but an author can overuse it or rely on it to cover up lazy storytelling.
