doppelganger

Definition

A spooky supernatural double of a living person—think evil twin energy without the adoption paperwork. Modern usage strips away the ghostly dread and just means someone who looks confusingly similar to you, minus the existential horror (usually).

Example Usage

I met my doppelganger at the coffee shop, and we both ordered the same drink without realizing.
