Actually, I was talking about mechanical shock, which is an extremely rapid
acceleration or deceleration. In another definition, it is also a variant of
impact (force delivered over time as time goes to zero). Also  you can think
of it as the first derivative of acceleration (change in acceleration with
time) or third derivative of position (d^3X/dT^2), which is truly defined (and
GOD it pains me to type this) as a "jerk".

Let the pigeons loose,
