Noun. [B2]

Examples

“The hunt for love⟳ saturates Western culture. […] Romantic comedies have⟳ characters discover⟳ one another serendipitously, called "meet-cutes." The lead⟳ clumsily spills a drink⟳ on his future love⟳ interest⟳, setting off a chain of events to love⟳. Meet-cutes affirm the idea that possibility is all around us: love⟳ can happen⟳ anywhere, at anytime, and with anyone.”

“In some respects, it might be too faithful to the genre it savages; as in many real rom-coms, the energy flags during the plot’s backstretch, and audiences may share⟳ the drifting interest⟳ of Kyle (Bill Hader) and Karen (Ellie Kemper), who come⟳ to regret⟳ ever asking Joel and Molly to chronicle their meet-cute.”
