Understanding Athelind's Argot: Coyote Loves Me!

[athelind]

Since it's Friday the 13th, it seems an appropriate time to explain a phrase that I use with great frequency:

"Coyote Loves Me."

I often utter it in situations where other folks might invoke "Murphy's Law" or "Finagle's Law", which leads many people to assume that it's entirely about, well, bad luck.

That's not it at all -- or not the important

George Carlin, too, and his various "just sit back and enjoy the show, because there's nothing you can do about it" routines.

I kinda thought most of the use of the phrase was obvious. But then, I did grow up in a house with a LOT of books, including one on Native American stories...and it's hard to get away from the Trickster in those.
