It's like PUA: it really "works" if you use it correctly...

but nobody can find an example of when somebody has.

Examples have been linked itt

It just so happens that it's an extremely rare mistake that got a name, and people are (shockingly) really lazy about making reads

You underestimate the ability of the average person to fail to learn.

imo

This is a factor. I even remember a game in which OR spent what seemed like a dozen posts saying "SHROOP, SHROOP" for no game-related reason.

I have no idea how many people will get this (I suspect it's low), but I agree our women are all strong and our men are all good-looking.

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
