Domino effect

Domino effect occurs when one event triggers a chain of related events, much like falling dominoes. This can happen in various environments—from global finance to politics, and even within the personal habits of individuals.

When the new policy was introduced, it set off a domino effect that changed the entire company's structure, leading to layoffs and restructuring.

The Emerson Effect

When you are telling a story and become self aware that the story is getting too long and your audience is distinguished. At this point it is best to stop the story at this point. Based off of Emerson who told notoriously long and boring stories.

Yo man I was telling this story to Mary Helen and had the Emerson Effect! I got out of there real quick before people got too bored.
