  • SNP’s TIFF word of the day: Meet-cute

    Word: Meet-cute

    Meaning: A romantic-comedy trope in which two future lovers meet in a wildly unlikely and thus totally fateful way.

    Usage: “Oscar and Amy fall in love. And what a Meet Cute they have! On their first evening together, they go out for the evening, their taxi explodes (yes, explodes) and they run in the rain and wade in the mud and find a restaurant where they eat tuna melts that make them sick and they run outside and hurl. This is the Meet Cute as Meet Puke.” ― Roger Ebert in his review of Three to Tango, 1999.
