Koankidank
noun; sound symbolism
A coincidence. Koankidank is simply a different pronunciation of the word coincidence. Basically, the speaker converted all the fricative c sounds into hard c sounds along with the short i sounds before the c’s into a’s. The word was coined simply to sound novel, as it has no separate meaning from the properly pronounced coincidence.
Etymology : Koankidank. Sound symbolism with [Coincidence. From Latin ‘coincidere’ (to happen together) + -ENCE ‘N’]
