echoes

A 23-minute epic by psychadelic act Pink Floyd. It's featured on their 1971 album Meddle and is considered by fans the point in which they found the sound they were best known for in albums like The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. It takes up the entire b-side of the album. Also the title of their greatest hits album Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (The song is featured on that compilation but is shortened to only thirteen minutes).

You haven't heard Pink Floyd until you've heard Echoes.

ect.

The stupid person way to abbreviate "et cetera". The "et" standing for the Latin word "et" and the "c." standing for the Latin word "cētera", hence "etc." and NOT "ect."

Child #1: I don't understand why people call me stupid, dumb, and ect.

Child #2: Maybe it's because you spelled "etc." incorrectly, and put an "and" before the et cetera (which is redundant).

Child #1: That explains it.

ECTA

"Ethnicity change to another"

RCTA but worse, it is the action of attempting to change your ethnicity to another, for example Japanese to American. It is much worse than rcta for the reason that the cultures and religions they inhibit are extremely racist. For example: someone who went from Japanese to American would say "I love eating McDonald's burgers everyday yum yum". Meanwhile RCTA is based on changing physical appearance, like white to black, or Asian to Indian.

Friend 1: Guys, I have something to tell you..
Friend 2: What is it?
Friend 3: Yeah! Don't keep us waiting!
Friend 1: I'm ECTA.
(Friend 2 has left the chat.)
Friend 3: wtf friend 1, that's racist AF
Friend 3: sorry about this, but you should only talk to me IN PERSON after you realize what you're doing retard.
(Friend 3 has blocked you)
(Friend 3 has left the group chat)
Friend 1: Why did they leave? I didn't do anything wrong!
