FlaSh-Lag Effect

-a visual illusion wherein a flash and a moving object that appear in the same location are perceived to be displaced from one another (MacKay, 1958; Nijhawan, 1994). Several explanations for this simple illusion have been explored in the neuroscience literature.

-The illusion has been tested in many aspects, through the game of baseball, and how flashes may affect the batter's perception of the ball.

- "FlaSh-Lag" was also the name of a relatively well known Console and PC Gamer from the years 1999-2004.
Chris Rock: Wow man did you just see how displaced that object was.

Jim Thome: Nah man, the flash just made you think it was displaced, that's called the Flash-Lag Effect

last bitch effort

noun, potentially a verb last bich ef-fert: That person I met online, hung out with a few times and drops off the face of the Earth. All of a sudden they resurface after a few weeks with an "explanation". Usually with the "I wasn't ready" excuse.
Me:"You know that guy I slept with a few weeks ago and really liked but he decided to hit it and quit it".
Friend: " Yeah"
Me: "Well I finally heard from him yesterday-he said 'I am not really good at this and just not ready for it. It's not fair and I'm sorry'."
Friend: "What the hell does that mean? Why did he even contact you again after you stopped talking to him"
Me: "Not sure, but it was probably just a 'last bitch effort' because there were no other takers either".
