Hall Effect

An effect often observed in school hallways. The hall effect is the effect of loud conversations in small spaces. In order to be heard over the chaos, conversations become louder and louder, driving up the overall level of noise. This causes conversations to become louder, eventually preventing conversation at all and transforming language into meaningless babble.

The hall effect caused our eardrums to rupture.

The Dash Effect

The notion that culture is pervasive enough to individually redefine race.

(1) Dash was raised in Ethiopian projects on Fillmore St; despite being white, he more closely identifies with black culture, therefor exemplary of The Dash Effect.

(2) The Dash Effect is pronounced in Creedence Clearwater Survival’s ‘Bayou Country’ album wherein a bunch of San Franciscan boys perfectly emulate bayou blues.

Melee Effect

When one has been playing the best selling game for the Nintendo

Game Cube, Super Smash Bros Melee., competitively, for too long and have become so hooked to its unmatched fast-paced nature and depth of techniques, that their brain is superpowered and actually has a shorter attention span than the normal human, and thus they cannot play any other video game without feeling that it is the speed of a snail.

"I would play Fortnite with you, but I suffer from the Melee Effect."
"I'm starting to show some symptoms of the Melee Effect."
