Person 2: Aw shit, you got hit by a Chain Reaction.

Reactive Listening

The art of trying to appear to be listening to someone, but just reacting to the last thing they said in an agreeing manner.

I was talking to my buddy Bob about my daily grind with work, and my wife making a big deal about the "hassle" taking our daughter to Disney Land.

He replied with "Yeah, Disney Land can be pretty stressful." ... He totally missed my point, typical Reactive Listening!

Antonym: Active Listening

Vitenn reaction

The reaction that occurs between CO2 (carbon dioxide) and sodium chloride (salt) when in H2O (water). The carbon dioxide bonds to the sodium chloride, creating a molecule significantly lighter than water, leading to swift evaporation of both the CO2 and sodium chloride.

The reaction was discovered by Professor Adwardo Vitenn in 1957

When I poured salt into my soda it caused the Vitenn reaction to occur between the CO2 and the salt
