Found after lots of refinement of googling terms and chasing down various references. Another example is "thrip".

You guys are killing me. There is a term for what helio described and it has nothing to do with sounds.

Go search for the right thing please.

It's the passive voice that's being used, I think. But it doesn't describe the technique being used; it only characterizes it.

Something I read the other day, and it reminded me of the sandbox thread. I can't bear to bump that thread though (Die, Sandbox Thread. Die.), so I thought I'd post here instead.

The first million times I saw this scene play out I could always find some piquant flavor in the proceedings, something that made each conflict unique. Now all I see is a kind of template superimposed over every motive, as though the argument were taking place between cells on a spreadsheet.

If I didn't know that he was talking about the recent branding of the Wii, I could easily see that remark being made about many of our threads here.
