The asteroid, called "2019 OK," passed about 40,400 miles above Earth's surface

I find nothing OK about that...

...roughly 5 times closer to Earth than the moon...

That is a rather ignorant way of stating something is 1/5 the distance to the moon. We don't use a whole multiplier when describing a divisor.

“Here's a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bulls___, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss.

[WHAM! CRUNCH!]

"Look, they nearly missed!"

"Yes, but not quite.”
