The droste effect is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. And while the appearance may be recursive, the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, as fractals can sometimes do; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size.

Get the droste effect mug.n.) The uncomfortable phenomenon when two people meet while walking and attempt to pass only to have both persons go in the same direction, thus each continuing to block the path of the other. The occurence is usually brief but unsettling enough to cause grievance and annoyance in one or both parties (or however many are involved).
Also is known as "the get-past-you shuffle", "the pavement tango" and "the thing where you go like 'this'".
The word comes from the book "The Meaning of Liff" by Douglas Admas and John Lloyd.

Chim Drogo: I had a terrible time flying with Air Canada, when their staff lied to me and screwed me over. I complained, but all I got was the Chim Drago in response. As a result, Air Canada will be my last choice of airlines for the rest of my natural life.

Get the Chim Drogo mug.Not DRO-HEAD-DAH. Nor DROG-HEAD-DUH. The word is pronounced Draw-dah (according to my religion teacher) from the syntax of the many locals of the area. A town in the wee county of Louth, in the humble province of Leinster, where you can find all sorts of funny characters and possibly the worst Irish accent ever. Home of St. Lawrence's gate, the Bridge of Peace, the Head (yes, the frickin' head) of St. Oliver Plunkett and of course, the strongest football team of the Eircom League in Ireland, Drogheda United. It also hosts one of the gayest lamest disco establishments ever, the Star and Crescent, where you can hook-up or bait, one of its many lipstick-wearing, underage-drinking, 16-year-old hoes. Also the dwelling place of many culchies and skangers.
I love Drogheda, but man, sometimes, it just sucks so much it's like living in the middle of frickin' nowhere. Shoutouts to my cows and spuds, yo.
