cliff effect

The cliff effect is when a digital signal (music/photo/video) 'falls off a cliff' when it fades out because the receiver can no longer tell which part of the wave is a digital 1 or 0, and there are more errors than can be corrected. The output of analog signals will get worse and worse in quality as it fades out and fail gracefully. This is especially a problem with digital cell phones because, rather than getting a more staticky call, it just drops the call completely.

A scratched vinyl LP record will still play, though at reduced quality while a CD will suffer the cliff effect when even so much as a fingerprint gets on it.

the boyer effect

When everything somehow manages to go wrong. No matter if the way you were hoping for would have been more probable.

One bad thing after another keeps happening in your life, against all odds.

Your rent is due, your account is negative and you have direct deposit, then you lose your bank card. Those series of unlucky events could be referred to as The Boyer Effect.
