{ADB Effect is best understood by watching the 60s version of Planet of the Apes and then the sequels. First movie: BIG BUDGET BLOCKBUSTER! Sequels: "Well, the Prosthetic make-up is already made innit? We don't need to spend money recasting worn out pieces, or even fitting them to different actors, do we? And besides, we don't need fancy location shots, we'll just re-use this cop movie set..."}
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
