warp

Travelling at speeds faster than light (usually in space), many sci-fi movies have warp-capable spaceships, all of which require some sort of warp core (which, as the name suggests, enables the object to travel at warp speeds).

The WARP effect

When you look back on the messages of a group chat and see that the other members were involved in a lengthy discourse about the most ridiculous, disturbing, idiotic, strange, unethical or controversial topics. Despite this extreme discussion, your evaluation of those people is not changed because you either assume they are not serious or you believe they are of the nature of expressing opinions or saying things that are ridiculous, disturbing, idiotic, etc.

Person 1: "My friends will just say the strangest things in the group chat"
Person 2: "Does it change how you view them?"
Person 1: "No, not really"
Person 2: "That is what is often refered to as the WARP effect"

Type-warp

The lag that is experienced when typing on chat lines. Rapid-fire typing (on chat lines) creates a response-gap that interrupts the normal flow of a chat conversation, usually ending with you typing something that seems completely off topic or completely opinionated and makes you look like a N00b.

PersonChatting> Hey, did you hear about Michael dying?
YouChatting> Yeah, I heard it on the news.
YouChatting> Good thing he's dead that piece of @#it, I hated his music anyway.
Chatter1> I think his body of work will live on throughout history rather like Freddies did.
YouChatting> Oops! Type-warp!
