The River Effect

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.

Jabar/River

Jabar/River (noun)
Pronunciation: /jah-bar ˈri-vər/
Plural: Jabar/Rivers
Variants: Jabar-River, Jabarriver (poetic use)

Definition:
A man who has never experienced sexual intimacy, often reaching adulthood or beyond without ever crossing that threshold. The term combines emotional stillness with inner depth—desire unfulfilled, yearning unexpressed, and a life lived in quiet restraint.

He is not necessarily celibate by vow or ideology, nor involuntarily isolated by rejection. Instead, a Jabar/River is defined by the particular emotional and existential state of being untouched, yet fully capable of deep feeling—like a river that flows endlessly but has never spilled over its banks.

Etymology & Symbolism:
Jabar: A name or title, drawn from Semitic roots meaning “mighty,” “restrained,” or “one who compels.” It suggests self-control, quiet strength, or an unshaken core.

River: A natural metaphor for emotion, desire, and the passage of time. Rivers can be calm or wild, shallow or bottomless—but in this case, the river flows within, hidden and never breached.

Together, Jabar/River represents a man whose capacity for desire and connection exists, but remains internal—felt, but never physically acted upon.

Core Traits of a Jabar/River:
Sexually Uninitiated – Has never engaged in sexual acts, either by personal choice, social circumstance, emotional blockage, or absence of opportunity.
“He’s a Jabar/River—gentle and distant, as if he’s carrying a thousand untouched memories that never happened.”

“To touch him would be like disturbing a still lake that’s waited years for the wind.”

York River Academy

York River Academy is a school for computer nerds. There are a few of us who survive and make it out alive, but I've lost a few comrades. If you do choose to come here, come prepared. You need a strong will to survive the 'Traps'. May Mother Russia be with you, and god speed my guy.
