This second word was picked because it sounded nice and was a central part of the movie: 'He's just not that into you'; oh joy!
Exception: a statistically improbable outcome.
The film (which is, by the way, lackluster and mind-numbing) uses it in reference to our psychological inability to work with extreme odds, a 5% chance never seems that much worse than a 15 or 10 percent odd of success, let alone our attempt to compare 1 in a million with 1 in a thousand.
Our simple minds, seem to keep things in more robust comparison buckets like: very rare, rare, infrequent, etc. If two events fall into the same category, we don't really care that much...
So hey, we're the exception, now kiss me you fool!
