Words question, there is a saying, 99 degrees of separation? Anyone know it? And the meaning is?
It has to do with the chances that you and another person have a connection between each other in one way or another. For instance I met a person who lives near me, who we are in a different state and we have an amazing connection in the past in another time and wow, what a shock. It is like the universe feels very small when you have a connection that is beyond explanation.

Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It was originally set out by Frigyes Karinthy in 1929 and popularized by a 1990 play written by John Guare.
