I listened to conversation, and people kept using the word.
It happens with images, too. I will see a peice of artwork that I have never seen before, and it's suddenly everywhere. Can't tell if it's all coincidence, but it is strange. Anyone else have experiences like this? I hope this is relevant.

When you are introduced to something new you tend to notice it more. Example; You just recieved a ring for your birthday. The first few weeks you wear it, it has contrast with the way your finger would normally feel. However, after a few months, you can hardly tell when it is, and isn't there. Your experience is more spacial than this, but the idea is similar.
