Diegogarcity
A term used to denote the appearance of another term in multiple sources shortly after you have looked it up in the dictionary (or first noticed it).
I know I experience this pretty often although its hard to say how much is coincidence and how much is just you listening for the word and noticing it more.
More information on Metafilter and Wordorigins. I know I have heard about this somewhere else before too but can't seem to find it now. Thanks to Lin and Ash for helping me find it again.
