<br>> "They met cute" is a new phrase for me, but somehow vaguely familiar,
<br>> in a "we were met on a great battlefield" kind of way.
<br>>
<br>> Does anybody know anything about this, or have other examples? Or is
<br>> this an editing error?
<br>
<br>It is not an editing error, it's an established idiom of which
<br>we have buckets of examples.
<br>
<br>I personally find it annoying.
