When one individual within a team or group speaks first during a presentation, however during their speaking they cover all of the notes which were meant to be covered by the group as a whole. This generally renders the rest of the group in a awkward and unpleasant situation of not having any information to contribute to the discussion.
River, Dave, and Alex are all presenting a project on elephants. They have a 2 page summary of notes.
River is the first to speak, and in his brief time speaking he covers all 2 pages of notes. This leaves the rest of the group with nothing to say.
This is "The River Effect" , everyone else in the group is stuck awkwardly stumbling for things to say or contribute.

A person from Fall River, Mass. Often described as a low-life, piece of trash who makes one's life a living hell to be around.
Colleen: "Man, I had to train this new kid at my other Dunkies. She was a real pain in the ass, couldn't do the simplest of tasks. A true River Rat.
Co-worker: "A River Rat?"
Colleen: "You know, someone from Fall River? They're all the same, never met one I like.
