Imagined Echo

The echo of a sound which did not produce an echo, but which the brain hears after the sound was made because it replays sounds the individual just heard in order to help that individual comprehend it better. Imagined echoes are the auditory equivalent of the images the eyes continue to see though the still image they saw is no longer visible. That scientifically proven phenomenon is called the "persistence of vision," and makes it possible for the 30 still images motion picture projectors display one after the other to create the optical illusion the brain interprets as continuous movement.

Dick Shakey was creating a song on his computers piano keyboard when he heard a jet airplane fly by. One second later, his brain replayed the sound of the jet engine for Richard to could hear it again and know what had just happened because when he heard the jet engine's sound the first time—immersed listening to the piano notes—he did hear the jet engine's distant roar, but because human listening is sometimes selective, ignored it. However, hearing the imagined echo blew his concentration, so he stood up, took a break, and submitted this new term to a new word website.

echoed the pan

Echoed the pan is when you’re sitting on the toilet and you pass wind so loudly that it echoes beneath you.

Also known as echoing the throne.

I was needing to go drop the kids off at the pool and as soon as I sat down I echoed the pan!

@echo off

Command used in batch files to make sure that the command prompt doesn’t open and echo the command you used back to you. Used extensively because people like to use their files without them spewing the garbage that they typed back.

A simple script using @echo off would be
@echo off
calc.exe
but only use it if you want to open the calculator without the command prompt repeating you.

Future Echoes

Where you see something/someone in the present that looks like how something/someone will turn out in the future.

Person 1: Hey I saw this crazy cat lady on my way back home the other day, totally gave me future echoes of you!

Person 2: Just because I think cats are really cool and sweet and awesome and I want to live with them forever...
