The term "bottleneck" was first used in a business context by Professor George A. Miller in the 1950s, particularly in relation to information processing and cognitive psychology. It describes a point of congestion in a system that slows down overall performance, similar to how a narrow neck of a bottle restricts the flow of liquid. The concept has since been widely applied across various fields, including operations management and supply chain logistics.

The term 'bottleneck' refers to something being behind or blocked up, usually due to a narrowing, such as when a sporting event or concert is let out there is a 'bottleneck' trying to get your car out of the parking lot.
The bottleneck effect can lead to reduced genetic diversity in populations that have rebounded after near extinction, as only a small number of individuals contribute to the gene pool. This lack of genetic variability can make the population more vulnerable to diseases, environmental changes, and other stressors. Additionally, inbreeding may increase the prevalence of harmful traits, further compromising the population's long-term survival and adaptability. Ultimately, the consequences of the bottleneck effect can hinder the population's resilience and ability to thrive in changing conditions.

In science, the term states is synonymous with phases. Solid, liquid, and gas, can be described as phases or as states.
A bottleneck is a object or item that can be used to describe the flow of another certain object. If you imagine a bottleneck as a funnel, in one end all water is trying to travel through, but on the other end it's smaller, so the flow of water is significantly reduced. It's a term used in many different subjects, and so the term may mean something different depending on how it's used.
My Dad used this term quite often and it seems to be a "phrase" from that Generation....WWII vets. I always thought he was referring to a Chief Cook and Bottle washer...meaning both jobs applied. I originally thought the term was "Chief Cook and bottleneck washer", but when researching, could not find the bottleneck included. I was checking because I wondered if perhaps the bottleneck referred to a beer bottle!
It was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon.
