email event horizon

The bottom of the list of emails in your inbox that you can see on one screen without scrolling or clicking to the next page. Once an email slips to the next screen, the likelihood of a response is significantly diminished.
Sorry, it took so long to get back to you. It was kind of a crazy week and once your email slipped below the event horizon I completely spaced.

People’s Main Event

Invented by Ariel Helwani. A phrase used to denote a fight on an MMA fight card that garners much attention from the MMA fan base. A fight that fans are looking forward to watching just as much, if not more, than the card’s actual main event.
Ariel Helwani: The fight that fans are looking forward to most is Todd Duffee vs Gian Villante, it is without a doubt the people’s main event. Okay guys I’ll see you next week, same time, same place, till then I say, “Peace, I’m outta here!”

Pre-event Prevention

When there is an event oncoming, and you decide to leave any work you have until after the event has ended. This can be because it feels like you cannot get much done in the time until the event starts, or a subtle means of procrastination.
Louis has a badminton match in 2 hours, and a physics test tomorrow, but because the badminton match is 'only' in two hours, he decides to just start studying once the match has ended. He is practising pre-event prevention of his studies.
