The Toronto Star’s movie critic Peter Howell has gone viral on the Internet, but perhaps not in the way that was intended. In both an article and a now-deleted tweet about the critically acclaimed film Moonlight and its writer/director Barry Jenkins, Howell writes about Jenkins using the term “coat-switching” in reference to stereotypes.

The article has since added a correction, but not before the Internet had some fun with “coatswitching.” One Twitter user was on hand to define coat-switching with pop culture.
