soft ban

(also "soft-ban") A restriction, as in character selection or technique usage in a competitive versus game, that is never explicitly stated by the players or rulebook but still stands due to unspoken player agreement. Does not apply in prize competitions.

"Akuma is not officially banned, but there is what is called a soft ban. In other words, all top players in Japan agree not to play Akuma without there being any official enforcement of this agreement."

Blackberry Ban

1. The banning of all Blackberry smart phones by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic starting in late July 2010.

Because Blackberries use data encryption for transmitting text over the airways, the security forces of those two countries can't "monitor" e-mail traffic from them. Afraid that anti-government forces will use Blackberries for nefarious purposes, they simply banned the devices entirely. Other authoritarian countries are expected to follow suit. Welcome to the 21st century!

Don't bring your new phone to Dubai, man. They just announced a complete Blackberry Ban. You could end up jail -- or worse.

The Ray-Ban Effect 

The Ray-Ban effect is an international phenomenon.

Any male of any age, who wears signature black Ray-Ban sunglasses, seem to instantly increase their physical attractiveness by a minimum of fifty percent. Ray-Bans happen to compliment any male's face and overall style. One can easily assume the male has a great sense of fashion if they are wearing Ray-Bans.

Me: "Wow, that guy looks hot."
Zoe: "That's only because he's wearing Ray-Bans."
Me: "True; it must be The Ray-Ban Effect."
