I'm certain the bump in popularity for "ontologically" came out of that pointless UFO disclosure circlejerk, making it even more irritating.

I didn't follow it too closely but there was a lot of teasing that impending disclosures of alien visitation would be "ontologically challenging" (hint: trans-dimensional demons -.-) to the public.

So annoying that its stuck around.

OP of the post had a follow up comment that said "The post is doing numbers so..." and he linked to his art. I almost laughed out loud. Ontologically triumphs again! Fuck.
