Should we have a Mudcat vocabularly, I wonder?

Does anyone have a word for when two or more thread titles appear consecutively creating a composite message?

I ask the question provoked by the current listings: "Happy Birthday Crane Driver" followed by "My God, is he still alive".

In this particular case, "and kicking" would be the appropriate answer.

Anyway, similar couplings appear from time to time. Do we need a word for it?

What other words do we need to coin?

What about "sequitur thread"?

Threadled? Thread and Muddled. Certainly covers the dylsexed thread titles!

Does anyone have a word? we've got a whole thread. The "thread name game".

We could make one up in our sensetory. My sister used to all the time.

I think of such coincidence as Serendipitous Conflatitularities.

Paranoetic pseudoconcordances.

It's getting junglous out there.

Junglous indeed. But stupendulous in its own pseudoconcordial way. The serendiprocity of titles being sequithreaded sends me all threadled. (Isn't there something in the Bible about it being easier for a camel to be threadled than for a poor man to ... somethingorother?)

Sorch: what's a sensetory?

Bert: apologies. It's a thread I didn't follow, but will look.
