| Apr 2, 2019 at 18:39 | comment | added | Mitch | @HotLicks You should add that instance, plus others, to your answer then. Wait, this isn't a question about whether 'screaming meemies' is a stormy petrel. You should add an answer to the OP about their question, which is "What is the difference between 'stormy petrel' and 'strong correlation'?". | |
| Apr 2, 2019 at 16:54 | comment | added | Hot Licks | @Mitch - I found at least one instance of "gives me the meemies". | |
| Apr 2, 2019 at 16:29 | comment | added | Mitch | I still haven't seen quoted any natural sounding sentences (from the wild) where 'meemies' aren't screaming. | |
| Apr 2, 2019 at 13:42 | comment | added | GEdgar | If I, personally, never use "meemies" except in the combination "screaming meemies", then is it a story petrel for me? | |

| Apr 2, 2019 at 4:03 | comment | added | Chappo Hasn't Forgotten | In other words, "screaming meemies" is a strong collocation but isn't a stormy petrel :-) | |
| Apr 2, 2019 at 3:17 | comment | added | Ubi.B | the Oxford example you used also contains "Screaming meemies" :/ Secondly, my question is "what is the difference between "Stormy Petrels" and "Strong Collocation"? Or Are "Stormy Petrels" nothing, but "Strong Collocation?" | |
