person a: what's your favourite band?
person b: echo and the bunnymen. they make me feel like my soul is being translated into music and condensed into words. i have seriously never encountered such a beautifully unique band whose creativity is visible through their loveably weird videos, at times random and quirky but overall honest, relevant and heartfelt lyrics, as well as their otherworldly, magical sound which too bears a sense of profoundness and understanding of the unsaid, yet deeply perceived aspects of our existence.

person a: k.
*person b never heard from person a again*

@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.

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.
