Farnsworth Phenomenon

Auditory phenomenon wherein reading a line of text commonly attributed to a person or persons with a particularly unique voice or accent causes the mind to hear that person's voice. This is not unique to famous individuals, as works clearly written with various accents (Irish, French, Pirate) yield similar results.

So named after the character Professor Farnsworth in Futurama.
So my buddy texted me, 'What's the Farnsworth Phenomenon?', so I texted him back, 'What do you think of when I type 'Good News Everyone?', a minute later he sends me back a '=O'

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
