Ponytail: The Bernoulli-Doppler-Leidenfrost-Peltzman-Sapir-Whorf-Dunning-Kruger-Stroop Effect states that if a speeding fire truck lifts off and hurtles towards you on a layer of superheated gas, you’ll dive out of the way faster if the driver screams “red!” in a non-tonal language that has a word for “firefighter” than if they scream “green!” in a tonal language with no word for “firefighter” which you think you’re fluent in but aren’t.
