shock wave

Typically, when air is displaced by a pressure wave, it moves at the speed of sound. These pressure waves can be generated from one's vocal cords (when speaking), the vibration of an object, or the impact of one object against another. However, in certain cases, the pressure wave is generated by a collision between air parcels, such as when lightning heats the air immediately around it. This rapidly-expanding air crashes into the cooler air around it, generating a massive spike in pressure followed by a sharp drop-off. It is this sharp spike and drop-off combination that differentiates a sound wave and a shock wave. Shock waves can be either naturally generated, in the case of volcanic eruptions, lightning strikes, and asteroid impacts; however, they can also be generated through man-made means, such as explosives that derive their power either from chemical energy that is converted into thermal energy or by way of nuclear fission or fusion. If the pressure differential occurs in air where clouds can condense, the act of high pressure passing through the area and low pressure following can cause temporary "Wilson clouds" to form.

The shock wave generated by the explosion in Beirut generated Wilson ring clouds and severely damaged the city of Lebanon.

shock schlock

Media written with the intent of shocking viewers usually through using disturbing imagery or sensitive topics but comes off as poorly done, distasteful, immature, edgy, and/or plain gross.

DudeBro: Man, did you see that one Spongebob episode where Squidward got his toenail ripped off moving his couch?

ManBro: Dude, that episode is gross. I get the close-ups and all, but that one was trying way too hard.

DudeBro: Man, that episode was some awful shock schlock.

Infant electro shock weapon theory

Infant electro shock weapon theory is the theory that you can get an infant to change their dominant hand by using an electro shock weapon on them when ever they use their dominant hand. Insides the mind of a baby the baby correlates using their right hand (the majority of the population is right handed) with pain so they don't use it any more. This is also sort of like reinforcement learning in computer science.

Did you here about the scientific paper on infant electro shock weapon theory?

Analphylacdick Shock

The reaction after your partner accidentally (or purposely) pulls out of the vagina and enters the anus.

Can also happen in solo mode with a dildo, if complacent.

“Oh Jim m, please be more careful when thrusting you almost gave me an analphylacdick shock”

“When using this product, be mindful of the thrusting motion to avoid an analphylactdick shock during use”
