Three-Nine Effect

Noun. Used to describe an elusive or imaginary audio effect which would transform a lackluster recording into a stellar one. The Three-Nine Effect is often confused with audio effects such as reverb, delay and compression. Companies such as Waves, which makes audio recording software, is believed by most studio clients to have a patent on the Three-Nine Effect, and as such recordings cannot be made without it. This, of course, is false, as the Three-Nine Effect is only a myth.

Occasionally misspelled or mispronounced as "Tree Nine Effec".

Synonymous with Quack.
"Do you have the Tree Nine Effec"?
"The Three-Nine Effect? I'm sorry. I really don't know what that is."
"You professional studio! You don't know what is Tree Nine Effec?! My friend have a studio! He know!"
"Is that a reverb or something?"

three month stand

Person A : Gonna bag me a trophy gf I say gf cuz I refuse to end up like tiger and Wana take the jeter route, instead of memorabilia in the car service ill leave plan b and the number to a psychologist, and to the really lucky ones id like Time to b driving the limo in the morning, roll down the divider and give the chick a life lesson and make her rethink her state of being

Logical Person B : Haha so how is this a gf again?

The Voice of reason : seems more like a 3 month stand without the worry of having to give her ride home
and Person A values pillow talk.. you have pillow talk with a gf, not with a 1 night stand
but thats why three month stands are appealing, you get what you want from the physical part and the emotional part, without actual commitment
