A glitch is like a small error or a weird malfunction, usually in a system or a program. In everyday language, it can mean something that feels off or unexpected.
The Matrix comes from the famous movie The Matrix, where reality is actually a computer simulation. So, when people say "a glitch in the Matrix," they mean something strange happened—like a moment that feels like reality just "messed up" for a second. It’s often used when people experience déjà vu, coincidences, or something that doesn’t quite add up.
For example, if you see the same stranger walk past you twice in a row, you might joke, “Whoa, that was a glitch in the Matrix.” 😄
